Did you try it with holding the CTRL key?
Rack 2.5.2 on Windows, Ctrl+Arrow witth a module context menu up scrolls the Rack window underneath the menu.

Iād really like to see native multitracking implementedā¦beeing able to record, letās say, eight tracks of live played music to accordingly named files, in a specified folder, would be dope. Along with some sleek mixing capabilitiesā¦: if executed the right way Iād pay extra for that 
This can easily be done using the Vst version. Just route 8 outputs to your DAW and render the tracks. Otherwise there are some modules which can record multitracks.

You can use the VCV Library - NYSTHI Polyphonic Recorder or the VCV Library - NYSTHI PolyRecorder64 64 tracks
and then if your DAW doesnāt support loading multitrack wavs you can use ffmpeg to split the channels
AudioChannelManipulation ā FFmpeg
audio - FFMPEG splitting an 8-channels WAV into 4 stereo WAV files - Super User
audio - ffmpeg stereo channels into two mono channels - Super User
it will take a bit of research and trial and error to get the right ffmpeg command though

NYSTHI is what I use for this tooāitās a great option. That said, adding a polyphonic mode to VCV Recorder (or just doing a multichannel version) would be a decent feature request.
Thank you. Iām still finding my way around, but Iāll try that.
Thank you. This seems to be very helpful and Iām going to try it out. I also thought of multitracking via some hardwareā¦Thing is I want it to be as simple as possible. Iāll see how your aproach works for meā¦
I just noticed that POLYREC has the option āSave tracks in separated WAV filesā on its right-click menu. Maybe you donāt need ffmpeg after all?

Could theoretically have performance implications with high track counts (havenāt tested) but very convenient!
Wish:
F4 is very nice to zoom to show all the modules you have in the rack.
I wish it honored the selection when you have a set of modules selected, zooming to just that set instead of the entire rack. Helpful for setting up screen recording or taking screen shots for documentation.

I just found this:
It would be nice to have some kind of 3D-effect in the Rack, although no one really needs that, like no one really needs shadows on kobs an cables 
Would be nice to have a way of building your own modules within rack itself. Like a blank module that you can resize and a choice of elements like knobs, sliders, buttons, switches and displays. With context menus to choose essential DSP functions. Something that can then be exported into an IDE for further tweaking and code developing. Perhaps a companion app for this purpose would be the way to go with the ability to integrate AI coding into it. A breadboard modular playground of sorts

This one is kind of hard to explain but if youāre familiar with the transition matrix used to implement a markov chain algorithm it might make sense.
Iāve looked at the log.txt and it seems like there might be enough information there to construct the transition matrix. Every time a module is added, this event gets logged as a chooseModel event.
What if there was a table with a row and column for each module, initialized with 0s. Every time you add module A and then module B, you increment the B column for Aās row. After some time you can infer probability that if you add module A, you are likely to add module B next.
So my idea would be for an option where you enable X number of slots in the module browser where the first X number of modules shown would be based on the previously added module.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

The user can also notice that they often use modules x, y, z, and save a selection for that set.
Not sure I want Rack automating the creative rut one can get into ;-).

Fair point, @pachde, but you could cap the Markov probability at 0.8 (or whatever) and distribute the remaining probability over other modules (maybe biased towards ones which share a tag or tag(s) with the more likely ones). So it could perform a mix of familiar convenience and new suggestions.
I think itās a neat idea, @dustractorānot sure it would make it as a feature request but it would be a cool custom module browser to code up!
