More love for focus/cycle actions

I have been trying to use productively the current actions to achieve a simil MDI interface paradigm in Reaper.

It's quite close now, but something is still missing:

• Ability to focus main window AND hide everything else
• Ability to include main window in the "cycle focused window" action + when a window is focused all others should be hidden - except main window which should simply go in background

I hope this is easy to achieve, the benefits in (my) workflow would be huge.

Thanks,
Mario

Done ( r438 ), added actions:
+SWS/S&M: Focus main window (close others)
+SWS/S&M: Focus next window (hide others)
+SWS/S&M: Focus previous window (hide others)
Remarks:

• for these actions, related keyboard shortcuts must use modifiers in order to pass-through to the main window (ex: Ctrl+minus = focus previous, Ctrl+plus = focus next)
• with "Focus next/previous window (hide others)" actions, windows are indeed hidden (not closed!), so at cycle point, these actions also feature unhide all / hide all (except main window).

Status: Fixed

I slightly updated actions names in r439 (clearer, I hope), the actions are:
SWS/S&M: Focus next window (cycle, hide/unhide others)
SWS/S&M: Focus previous window (cycle, hide/unhide others)
