Short description of error
storypencil addon doesn't work with meta strip

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
with storypencil addon activated, you can create an edit with a meta strip (ctrl G or context menu), you can switch to the meta strip with context menu, but the tab shortcut is in conflict with the storypencil addon, so that we can't escape from the meta strip back to the main edit (no context menu, nothing in the search menu, and 'tab' shortcut changes scene instead of toggling off the meta strip)
It may be a shortcut conflict, probably a context menu to toggle off the meta strip would help.

Maybe I miss something, but I can open a back with Meta strips. I select the meat strip and pressing Tab can enter and exit.

Could you provide a simple test file?

@mendio Could you help here?

here is a demonstration.
Indeed it works fine, until you have a metastrip at the same time as a Story-Pencil-scene.
Open the file and move the Story-Pencil-scene to check? You'll notice the 'tab' shortcut doesn't work for meta-strips anymore.
Selecting the right object doesn't work either to recognize which strip to edit. 'Tab' always edit the scene strip.

I see... not sure we can consider it as a bug. By default when you press Tab, the add-on looks for the scene strip in the current frame and always has priority over other strips. If you want edit the meta strip, Mute the scene strip at this frame.

@mendio any idea here? Maybe we could use the active strip if the selected is not an scene strip.
