Could you explain what the dot and squares are referring to, if the shortcuts are for LE and TDM, and if keyboard focus should on or off.
Keyboard focus does not effect this shortcut, and it works on TDM and LE.
I <3 this shortcut!
⌘⌥⌃+ clicking on other parts of the mix window will also have varied results. For example, ⌘⌥⌃+ click on a fader and it will automatically switch that track to “Volume” view in the edit window, same for pans.

Very useful for when you have a lot of tracks but still want that fat meter!
