Default Keyboard shortcut to close active plug-in window?
There is this little 'plug in' button on the 003 I use at my workplace, it opens and/or closes the selected plug-in's window. I find I use that button a lot.

Since I don't have the 003 at home I was wondering if there is an equivalent keyboard shortcut I could use. I've been digging thru the threads here and found CMD+OPTION+W but that only closes all plug-in windows.

Couldn't find anything like that in the Scripts thread either. Even Google failed me as a friend here, maybe one of the PT Power Users here has a clue..?

Not that I know of. You can close AND reopen floating windows with Ctrl+Option+Cmd+W.

Thanks Stig, not quite what I was looking for but a useful shortcut to know just the same.

I have written AppleScripts to close one or all AudioSuite pug-in window(s) which also exist for normal plug-ins, although I never released the latter.
Opening the currently selected plug-in will probably never work as a classic shortcut but for a console or EUCon remote application only.

Thanks for your reply Oliver. It would appear you are right. I've asked some of my more experienced PT-friends (outside of this venerable forum) and they either were as clueless as I am or pointed out the same issue you mentioned.
