Monitor FX toggle view
After recently discovering how incredibly useful the Monitor FX feature is for stuff like waveform and frequency visualizers (instead of putting those on the master track), I'm trying to set up a keyboard shortcut which toggles the Monitor FX view on and off in a docker.
For some reason, in the actions list, it's not available as a toggle, so I can only make a shortcut to open it, but have to close it manually with the mouse in the docker.
Am I missing something very obvious here?
Cheers!

Welcome to the forum!
I don't see any action to do that so created a script and uploaded it to ReaPack, named 'Toggle show monitoring FX chain'. Note the script also requires the js_ReaScriptAPI extension which you can also get via ReaPack.

Thanks! I suspected someone more clever than me could just make a script for it.
I've downloaded it, turns out I need the newest version of Reaper for the ReaScriptAPI to work, so I'm updating everything now. I'll let you know how it works!

Hi,
if the Fx monitoring window is in docker, this script does not work.
if the Fx mw is undocked, this script open the window, but does not close it. just change the view between different fx that are in the monitoring chain.
Reaper 5.973
OSX 10.12.6
ReaPack at date.

Be sure to have latest version of js_ReaScriptAPI extension installed since earlier versions had an issue with the Window_Find() function on MAC OS.
EDIT The script was also updated (v1.01) so if fx monitor is docked but not the selected tab it should now switch tabs so it is in view.

Now it opens the docker when fx monitor is docked. When fxm is undocked, it opens the window but does not close in a next script run

EDIT: Uploaded v1.02 to ReaPack, should now work (close) on MAC and Windows.
I was unaware of a function in the API.
