Question: I see in the WDL repo that the eel bindings are present. Could the lua bindings be exposed as well? Was thinking of being able to use a small GUI framework i'm writing in LUA with WDL (outside of reaper - with the gfx)

Question: Just like bass is an instrument for low frequencies. There are pianos, guitars, synths, brass etc. mainly for mid frequencies. Is there any dedicated instrument specifically for high frequencies? Not talking about drums, so don't say cymbals ;)

Question: Two simple questions actually - why REAPER's sampler name is ReaSamplomatic5000? Why not 6000 or 4000 in place of 5000? Also, why not just "ReaSampler"? Another question - why can't we comment here right before you answer here? I was actually waiting for your answer in the previous post of wasereb4 to reply him that you removing "one comment only" was my fault :-P

Question: Is there any way to just disable cursor movement from laptop's touchpad? I mean, only tapping on the touchpad (for left click action) and left click and right click buttons (in touch pad) can remain open. I want to turn off the touch pad movement, from which we can move our cursor. Basically, I want to move my laptop's cursor from my bluetooth mouse and left/right click from my touch pad. Or also tapping the touch pad for left click. Is this possible? I have a Windows Lenovo laptop

Question: Especially in Windows, when we hover over to the icons, without clicking, take REAPER icons, buttons for example, they glow. Whereas in Mac, they don't glow. When you hover over to the icons, buttons of Mac OS, they don't glow. You just click them and they get activated. Maybe you understand my question. If yes, why some 'glow' while others not? Also, a little suggestion for you. You can remove that 'glow' thing. It might reduce your work a bit? You don't have to work much on icons and buttons in REAPER.

Question: So I am thinking of adding a real time ninjam chat in my ninjam API via the socket connection (much how Jamtaba and ReaNINJAM has their chat). I want to perform this function via JavaScript if possible, like if you understand how WebSocket works, so all it do is when it receives chat input, javascript will perform simple instructions when it receives any new messages from the chat. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this correctly, but is it possible to do that with Ninjam? If so, is it compatible with jquery?
