Bummer, right? I just read through the AI response for the first time. Gemini was clearly smoking something.
I don't use the control track very deeply, so I don't know how the custom commands work. It'd be cool if you could create a custom command that would open your plugin interfaces of choice, right? Doesn't seem doable.
All I can think of is to create a macro using a third-party program that would double-click on your desired plugins in the relevant FX patch view windows when looking at a specific F-key view. Workflow to bring up a pre-defined plugin group would be something like:
1) Go to F-key view that you've built your macros around
2) Hit your macro hot key for the plugin group you want to open
3) Go to F-key view that you've built to accommodate your plugin group displays (optional)
Note that the macro could involve all kinds of navigation within a single F-key view or even switching among different F-key views. The main thing that comes to mind, especially for larger projects (more tracks) would be scrolling to the tracks or channels (if they extend beyond the current view) involving the plugin instantiations of choice to be able to access their respective FX patch views windows.
Just the kind of rabbit hole I'm drawn to without regard for how much time it would take to set up (vs. just working the old-fashioned way on a given project) or how many idiopathic failures are in my immediate trial-and-error future (or whether the thing will end up consistently working at all).
