Virtual MIDI keyboard
Hi
When using the Linux version of Reaper a VST plugin user interface is in focus I can't use the keyboard to play notes using the virtual midi keyboard or press Space to play/stop. Is there a way to make it work? |

If you are using a effect vst ( reverb,etc) you need a midi vst instrument to drive the effect vst.
It will not see any inputs. Put a vst instrument 1st in line in the fx browser and it should work. The space bar works also.

Yes I have it set-up it that it automatically set monitoring to selected track.
I'm not sure if I was clear in the OP but basically when I start changing parameters in the VST instrument I can't use the keyboard to play notes even though send all input to VMK is on. I have to click back to the Reaper window to have it work again. It happens with Vital VST but also there is one VST called Apricot that it works like it should.

So the issue is only with 1 vst?
Lose it🤪 What parameters are you resettling? SurgeXt is good https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ Or here are quite a few http://linuxsynths.com/ I can only vouch for SurgeXT, Odin 2, yoshimi, Helm.
