missing remove marker action

[metal_priest]

Am I blind or in the action list there isn't a "remove marker" action? The only way to remove a marker is a right click on it and the choose from the menu?

more specifically I need the opposite action to the SWS action "Create project marker at mouse cursor".
This is the goal:

two buttons on a toolbar, right click to activate them so i can just click where i need a marker or click again on the marker to remove it.

Maybe a script could do the job?

thanks!

How are you going to delete one? You can't select them...

Alt-Clicking one removes it, or putting: reaper.DeleteProjectMarker(0, 10, 0) in a text file and saving it as "Delete project marker 10.lua" will delete project marker 10, etc...

What are you trying to do? I think I once wrote a delete nearest marker to cursor action. I'll help if I can (when I get back from the PTA meeting)

I didn't know that!!!
And actually i can't find it anywhere...is it a mouse modifier?

I don't need a button then, alt+click it's fast enough thanks

Working with classical music means have more than 500 takes in lines, so i use to mark them while recording, naming them etc. Then I have a custom action to convert markers in region and batch render them as stereo files to give all the takes to the musician or producer to listen them and choose the edit list...but sometimes happens that the musician start a new take and i can't mark it "in time" so i have to quickly add a marker at the beginning of the take. I do this with the SWS action "marker under mouse cursor". On the other side, sometimes happens i put a marker by mistake so i need a quick way to delete it...alt+click it's a quick way

(but i'm still curious...where the hell i can find this option?)

You use the mouse with a modifier key, but it's not actually a "mouse modifier" -I think it's hard baked-in from the early days, so you can't change it. Pity, maybe the Devs never got around to needing to put it in the MMs

You can't select them, but you could place cursor on it,
or comapre with "marker closest to cursor",
or even "delete the last marker according to cursor position".

Actually there is a ReaScript function that return the last marker so yes, it can be scripted if needed.

But maybe a native solution would be better.

Thanks Raym, but it works flawlessly with the alt+click...it's even faster than clic a button to activate an action

Which is, I guess, why it's never been changed
