How to Create a soft Key to Deselect Selected Tracks?
Using the Soft Keys in the Control App on iPad, after navigating to the Group Spill pages ( 60+61) and selecting Show Tracks In Group, then Select Tracks in Group, how then can I create a soft key to Deselect All Selected Tracks? . I should be able to do this from the ipad rather than grabbing the mouse to option/click a track. You'd think a simple Undo would work, but it doesn't.
I know how to create custom soft keys, but there is no command to deselect, nor key command that doesn't involve the mouse.

Triple tap a track
(first two taps unselect that track, third selects it and unselects all other) You can also flip the lower soft keys to the "modifier" page and hold down the "option" and click a track (this unselects completely)

Thanks! That works a little easier than grabbing the mouse.
It just seems odd that there is no provision for a menu command to Deselect selected tracks.

The fact that Pro Tools does not have a Deselect All has always been bizarre to me -- whether clips or track or anything else.
Every other program (from word processors to photo editing) has the deselect if it has a select. But not Pro Tools.
