To expand on that a little more --

There should be a keyboard shortcut to open/close the automation lanes.

There should be an option (modifier key while clicking the + button to make a new lane) that automatically creates a new lane for each CC number for which there is data in the MIDI Events list for that track.

Newly created individual lanes should by default be the next CC number for which there is data in the MIDI Events list for that track that doesn't already have a lane. Only if all data in the track is already accounted for should the new lane be for an unrepresented CC number.

I just finished modding the whole Spitfire BBCSO Pro Tools template, adding several new lanes to each track. Good grief was that a slog. Hours upon hours of needlessly repetitive mouse clicks. You'd think this was still the 20th century the way it works in PT.
