Feature request: "Last Tweaked" button in the edit menu

[TheDichotomist]

Ok so in other daw's you can move a knob and if the host recognizes it as an automatable control, you can go into a menu somewhere and find a "last tweaked parameter" button... from there it essentially brings up the list of options you see when you right click a normal control. This feature would come in so much handy for automating vst plugins! =D

Ehh, because you always forget what knob you tweaked seconds ago? Sorry, I don't understand this feature.

Why has everyone here never designed sound in a professional daw before T_T... here look at this synth

have you ever browsed through the vst automatable parameters window for a synth like that?
it can get really confusing...

See why i want this now? =)

Well, VST's are sort of self-contained black boxes, that handle their
GUI rendering by themselves. LMMS is in no way aware of the VST's GUI,
and can only communicate with the VST via the VST protocol. So I'm not
sure if it's even possible for us to know what controls have been "last
tweaked" in the GUI.

We could do some kind of workaround - since the plugin controls window
has a button to "refresh" the knobs, we could possibly in some way flag
the knobs that change when the user presses the "refresh button". That's
probably about the best we could do about this.

something along those lines... i thought lmms automatically refreshed every few minutes/seconds. I also thought lmms would/could have some awareness of the parameters you tweaked in any plugin.
some kind of history that i think would be needed for the undo/redo function.

In normal, native plugins, yes - LMMS has very much awareness of the
parameters. But VST is different. It's a proprietary format, and the
entire VST support we have is based on reverse-engineered headers (which
is probably why some VST's don't work properly).

oh..... wel.... great XD ...... wonder if i'll ever request a feature that you guys can actually make XD

Requesting is for sure easier than making ;) But don't stop! It's inspiring
and can show us limitations we were not aware of.

May be should closed?..

I started implementing this in #7622, but it's not done yet.
