Default Activate inactive plugins shortcut?

Is there a shortcut to activate all inactive plugins?
Thank you.

The best one that I know of is to hold down Control-Option-and Command and click on the inactive plugin on one of your tracks.

This key command will activate all plug-ins on that particular insert (example A, B, C, etc.) for your whole project.

If you just want to activate the plug-ins for selected tracks, then also hold down shift.

So if you have a project where all inserts (A-J) are being used, the most clicks you will have to make would be 10 (one for each insert).

Hope that makes sense.

I can activate any row by holding the "power claw"(Ctrl/Windows/Alt) and click on any inactive plugin in the row("row" as in slot A, slot B, etc). Repeat or do to an active plugin and the entire row goes inactive. I don't know of a way to do multiple rows at the same time
