sidebar: session macros in keyboard

[bfredl]

One of my major workflow issues with the deluge has been, that while jamming on the keyboard on a part, jumping to song view and back to change some background part is just too many keypresses to switch to session view, press the right button which just wasn't visible until now and then jump back in to the correct keyboard part again, and now the "flow" of the jam is already lost.

Add a sidebar where the song parts can be controlled directly from the keyboard screen. This is done as 8 configurable "macros" which in this draft can be one of

• switch given clip on/off
• cycle all clips for a specific output
• switch to a specific section (for all relevant output)

Suggestions for more behaviors welcome. Like I considered expanding the first option to layer any set of part in an arbitrary combination (not just sections), but wanted to start with something simple.

Very early draft, some missing pieces:

• configure this sidebar directly from grid view
• save macros with song
• add validation for Clips/Outputs which might be deleted and now are dangling pointers
• consider the right use of colors

Ready for review.

UI design: need a button combination for jumping to editing clip instead of launching. I picked AFFECT ENTIRE because it currently has no "latching" behavior in clips (it is always lit) and thus is safe as a modifier, and AFFECT+SONG is an ok combo for the left hand while picking the macro with the right hand. Other suggestions welcome.

Just some minor nits for now, maybe a few more once I've played with it a bit but the code looks pretty solid

Hi,

I opened an issue as a follow-up to this PR as I don't want to hold off merging this.

Mostly just some UI consistency changes that I want to make.
