I use Reaper, so it's easy to customize MIDI or keyboard triggers for all sorts of actions.

If you use a pedal for something like this, what type? MIDI? Bluetooth? USB? Which brand/model do you use? Thanks!
I don't use a pedal

For Pro Tool I use the Avid Control app on my iPad
I believe you can set up something similar with Reaper but you have to go thru a number of steps in Reaper to get it going
