Keyboard shortcuts?
FF Products sorely need some keyboard shortcuts. Undo/ Redo and A/B switching would be great global shortcuts, as well as some app specific shortcuts (like band on/off in Pro-Q 3, S-Clicking for band soloing etc),

Hi Mikko,
Interesting request! We always try to implement as many smart features as we can. The problem with keyboard shortcuts is that most of the time, these are already reserved for the host. We'll take it into consideration but I doubt its an easy thing to implement, or that will be implemented on a short notice.
Maarten, that's understandable (and unfortunate), but can you please please please consider making the A/B button and the copy button exposed VST (and VST3) parameters, so that we can midi map them at least? The one thing truly missing for me is the ability to switch between A/B in a rapid, tactile way.
Wanted to promote this idea as well. Somehow Melodyne is able to capture keyboard focus from the host for undo/redo shortcuts.
Every few months I search on this topic hoping to hear some news on this! Undo keyboard shortcut is much needed and would take this already awesome EQ to the next level! Plugins like (Polyverse Gatekeeper) do this without any issues. For example Gatekeeper uses keyboard shortcut Z for Undo while you are in the plugin and the plugin in focus. Z shortcut is also used in Ableton for zooming but when inside gatekeeper Z gets used by gatekeeper for Undo.
not exactly a solution but toggling between an active and inactive setting inside fabfilter can simply be a ctrl Z (to disable) or ctrl + Y (renable) the point filter so you can at least toggle between the 2 and hear the difference when referencing or testing your change
