Default Midi Editor: light up pitches played on midi keyboard

Currently when playing notes on a midi keyboard only the piano keys of the midi editor light up and not the actual background of the pitches.

This is what I wish was possible:



It would be very helpful when composing parts by playing on the keyboard to identify notes and drawing them in with the mouse.

Also it would help when trying to exercise some mouse-written midi parts for live keyboard performance to see whether the intended notes are being played.

I imagine it would be best done by adding to the theme tweaker:

- MIDI editor background color, note-on (naturals)
- MIDI editor background color, note-on (sharps/flats)

If feeling generous, colors for out of bounds would also be nice

It would be really helpful to have more guides like this.

Sorry for the late reply, but I really like this feature.

More detailed info about why we need it was written here: "https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?p=2489470#post2489470".

I don't know exactly how this forum with requests is working, and if there's a chance to get this done, but I'd love to "bump" this feature request.

The devs regularly check this forum and if they find a request useful to implement at this point in time they will just do it. Some features here are implemented 1 day after they appear, other features keep popping up for several years and all of a sudden are implemented and some just never end up in Reaper. Sometimes the devs participate in discussions, sometimes they don't.

It is always a good idea to bump the FRs that interest you once in a while so they remain on the radar and if you are lucky at some point they are implemented. Just don't do it too frequently/aggressively.
