Summary0010381: Keyboard Shortcuts - Solo based on region or range selection
DescriptionI might be overlooking something but I noticed that the following action was not available.

If you go into Editor and you select one or more track boxes,
and use the default shortcut ALT+S,
this applies the "Toggle Solo" action.
Which makes sense.

Yet there does not seem to be a way to achieve this by selecting region(s) or range(s) within tracks?

Suggesting that an action/shortcut like this be added to Ardour.

Being that a Track Box and a Region/Range cannot be selected at the same time.
If there would not be any conflicts, I think an even better idea could be to allow the "Toggle Solo" action to achieve this action for selected track boxes, regions and regions within those track boxes.

If this is possible I think this could be something worth adding to Ardour.

Hopefully this makes sense
Thank You
Additional InformationJust in case anyone thinks to mention this.
There is a "Solo Selection" action but this is different in many ways. To me this action also has some strange behavior that I might make a post about in the future.

To me this seems like it would be very helpful to offer something like this. Not sure if anyone would agree, but I would really like to see this added personally.

Would anyone be willing make this update?
Thank You
