When defining #WidgetType entries in FXWidgetLayout, only widgets that look like channelized controls (names ending in a number) are currently eligible for Learn.
For example, declaring:
will automatically expand internally to Fader1, Fader2, …, and these show up correctly in Learn.
However, non-channel/global controls — such as Track, Pan, or function keys like F1–F8 on MCU surfaces — are not recognized. If you try to declare these directly (#WidgetType Track or #WidgetType F1), they do not work as expected.
Desired Behavior
Any widget explicitly declared in FXWidgetLayout via #WidgetType should become eligible for Learn.
Global/non-channel controls (e.g., Track, Pan, F1–F8) should be recognized without requiring a trailing channel number.
Declaring a widget name with a number (e.g., F1) should be respected literally, rather than treated as a base for further channelized expansion.
Actual Behavior
Only channel-style widgets (Fader, Rotary, Select, RecordArm, etc.) expand properly and work with Learn.
Global widgets without numbers (e.g., Track, Pan) do not appear in Learn at all.
Widgets declared with a number in the name (e.g., F1) incorrectly expand into unintended variants (e.g., F11, F21, …).
Proposal
Perhaps we keep WidgetType for "channel-ized" widgets, but add a one-off Widget option like #SingleWidget. Example:
#WidgetType = expands per channel (e.g. Fader, becomes Fader1, Fader2, etc.)
#SingleWidget= stays literal (e.g. Track, Pan, EQ, Send)
Ideally, any defined widgets in the FXWidgetLayout would also become reserved for the Learn process so actions from the home zone wouldn't fire.
