I would like to see the keyboard(F4) in Reason be able to be reduced down in size, so it doesn't take as much screen real estate. maybe there could be an icon on the transport lit to tell ya when the keyboard has focus, so you don't need to see the entire keyboard graphic.

I always move it as far to the side of the window as possible but when I close and reopen it goes back to the default spot so that's another thing I would like to see fixed if possible.

In my opinion it may as well disappear completely like in Ableton. Hope it happens at some point.

Oh yeah sorry, doh, only just really got that. there is already a show onscreen piano keys button on the transport isn't there. Where it says KEYS bottom left.

What about another icon (maybe a little dot or circle that highlights / un-highlights the same colour as the KEYS) next to the KEYS icon on the transport, a show / hide on screen piano keys dot / circle / button? So if KEYS is highlighted and the other button is highlighted, the on-screen piano appears. But if KEYS is highlighted and the other button isn't then the on-screen piano keys is active but not visible. The dot / icon should automatically default to being highlighted when Reason loads and you can turn it off or hide the on-screen piano keys by un-highlighting if you don't want the keyboard on screen.

Just read it back again and that's kind of what you already said Mark lol!

Man this post just took me ages write, re-edited it about 6 times lol!

Ok...

Here is what I do...and it works fine for now (dragging it to the bottom of the screen)! I can still use the Transport panel. If you press F4 and de-press it, it works just fine and you don't really have to think about it too much!

Yes...it would be ideal to hide it as an option too!

when I do that it never goes back to the exact position which is an extra step...not a biggie but it's one of the reasons why I posted this thread.
