so i’m not sure about your idea to change the inspector as mentioned in page 3 of this thread; and the compact mode in 195 gives fast access to busses,effect routings etc but you still need the inspector for the input mappings; midi and audio.
If this is the post you refer to:

Since I first designed the track inspector years ago as a panel inside the tracks region, the inspector has grown in size with the addition of embedded plugin editors and the group panel. I’m considering moving the inspector out of the tracks region and instead embed it as a panel at the left edge of the browser window, similar to the “List” panel at the right edge. Imagine there is an “Inspector” tab at the top left corner, just before the project tab. This has the advantage that the inspector can be the full height of the window, and showing the mixer will not reduce the height.
What I suggest here does not change the functionality of the track inspector. It’s just an idea for moving the placement of the inspector from inside the tracks region to the left edge of the editor window. It will allow the inspector to use the full height of the screen.
