True Toggle Mute/Solo Key Command Across Channel Strips?

I've done lots of searching and can't find an answer to this.

 

Here is what happens now:

 

1. I select two channel strips, one muted, one not muted

2. I press "M" (which is labeled "Toggle Channel Trip Mute")

3. The muted channel strip unmutes, unmuted channel strip stays unmuted

 

Here is what I would like to have happen:

 

1. I select two channel strips, one muted, one not muted

2. I press "M"

3. The muted channel strip unmutes, unmuted channel strip mutes

4. As I keep pressing "M," step 3 repeats according to each track's respective mute state

 

 

The same thing happens for soloed tracks. Is there any way to make a key command a true toggle, that simply inverts the current state across tracks, regardless of their current state?

If you place the tracks inside a summing stack then you can use Smart Controls for this: map a switch to Mute on one subtrack and also to Mute (reversed) on the other.

 

You can also go in the MIDI environment and cable one channel strip into the other, processing the Mute data to invert it, so that when you mute the first channel strip it unmutes the other, and vice versa. Here's one I programmed a long time ago that still works the same today: A Compare button: alternate mutes on 2 tracks

 

If you want to pursue one or the other of these solutions and need further guidance do ask here. :)
