using the qwerty keyboard to input midi notes in step input mode.

Yes this was also brought up a few weeks ago, I can't remember where.

I mentioned that since many keys are already used - even in step mode,
a new special 'PC mode' button would turn on the PC keyboard so that all keys would
be re-directed to operate sounds.
Then turn off the 'PC mode' button to go back to normal.

Aaah, ok, sounds like a plan. Can I assume PCmode would only operate within the PR, and if the user closes the PR window, or escapes the PR window focus, PCmode automatically reverts to "normal"? (In case the user forgets to turn off PCmode before shutting the window, or navigating away from it for a moment.. A safety feature of sorts)

I think it's also worth keeping the transport controls outside of PR mode, so the user can stay in PC mode, inside the PR window, and audition what he or she's written.

Can I suggest the User having the choice to add or remove keys to/from PCmode, outside of the keys i've already mentioned? A good example is the NumPad keys which are usually allocated to selecting grid/note lengths, and the keys for navigating the PR canvas, including those you've just added.
