will EUCON for S6 have "plugin focus" feature?

For me there is no faster way to switch from, let's say, insert A plugin on track 1 to insert G plugin on track 17 than one mouse click in Pro Tools mixer. All legacy Digidesign controllers will follow that one mouse click and I will have the plugin on the control surface instantly. How do you do that on S6?

In insert view, you just push the knob top of the insert you want to focus. One button, no mouse needed.

Wouldn't you have to attention the other track first?

How do you do that in scenario I described above? I look at different S6 videos, I read PDFs and it seems that when in expand plugin view there is no "one click" way to switch to another insert slot on another track. I will be very thankful!

I didn't say, in expand mode. You can't compare the workflow you are trying to prove and a s6. Apples and oranges.

Actually, I can. S6 is not a separate or independent existance from Pro Tools. There should be at least an option to make S6 follow on screen plugin selection. Perhaps there is one already there? Don't get me wrong, I think S6 is brilliant, but it seems that it carries some of Eucon workflow logic which has its flaws compared to older surfaces. It will get much better with future software releases, like ICON did.
