    i agree that having the keyboard shortcuts to navigate the
audio/MIDI connections are very useful, as well as listing
plugins/latency on the track as can be done with the inspector.

    however, if a) the audio/MIDI matrix could be navigated/controlled
with the keyboard b) the plugins 7 latency for a route could be
listed/brought up from the matrix window, then the separate inspector
would no longer be necessary in my opinion.

    let me know if we should submit feature requests.
