[Feature Request] Popup Virtual Keyboard on Consoles

Hello Tyler,

Saw your other post on Pop up Faders as well. You might want to explore using snapshots or workspaces to get close to this functionality while the feature isn't in the software.

Snapshot approach: Have a Snapshot bring up the virtual keyboard and/or fader bank in a frame, with another frame that has a magic sheet that has a button labeled close, and all it does is recall your normal view via a macro that calls another snapshot. The downside to this is you might lose the context you were working in.

Workspace Approach: If you aren't using workspaces much (Top left corner "1, 2 ,3"), you can just have one of them be your virtual keys and/or faders.

I think the standpoint on not having a popup keys button on consoles is because they want to reduce screen clutter wherever possible, and since you already have the keys in front of you at the desk, its makes sense to remove it. I think the argument for popup faders is valid enough though.
