Shortcut buttons for enable MIDI I/O & record while play functions near mute/solo buttons

Nobody has claimed this yet.

On every LMMS track there are currently two buttons for solo & mute buttons.
But if we want to enable our midi keyboard we have to go much deep inside , similarly to record we have to go in piano roll. these are all time consuming & affect our workflow.
I am suggesting an idea for which no much coding is needed , only linking my suggested 1. Midi-in ENABLE/Disable,
2.Record&play small buttons to existing GUI.These Tiny buttons must be near Solo & Mute buttons as shown in PNG I uploaded here with.

(Enabling Default Midi-in device as soon as we click on an instrument is also an awaited feature . I am new to c++ coding. I guess It will be same as enabling pc keyboard input as soon as we click on an instrument on a track. A if ..Else logic must be there.)

But till that day , my current suggestion of providing Two Tiny buttons on GUI

where the SOLO & Mute buttons are there is worth implementing.


Hope this will be implemented in LMMS recent update.
Thanks. You Developers are doing great job. And our well wishes are with you.

Start by examining the existing track mute and solo controls, then trace how MIDI input is enabled and how recording is initiated from the piano roll. Define the intended placement and behavior for MIDI-in and record/play controls near those buttons, and verify the resulting workflow on an instrument track.
