Piggybacking on another request here:

The request:
A new action to "Focus Media Explorer" window.
While we're at it also:
Show Media Explorer
Hide Media Explorer
All we have is a toggle show/hide right now.
The action "Media Explorer: Preview media item source media" is great in that it launches the file in media explorer but there is one significant hitch which is why I ask for the ability to focus the Media Explorer window.
Example:
If the Media Explorer window is open already and I call "Preview media item source media", it will open that file in media explorer, but the Media Explorer window isn't focused. Now if I press the space bar thinking I'm previewing I really start my project playing. By that time I've clicked to the Media Explorer and pressing play there previews but my project is still playing. I wind up clicking back and forth to get what I want playing and the other stopped.
This is just clunky and could be much cleaner with a new action to focus the Media Explorer.
I've had to make a Keyboard Maestro workaround to handle this but would much rather do it all inside Reaper, which would also be best for cross-platform users.
