Refresh Flex View

Question

Is there a key command or quick method of refreshing an entire tracks regions whilst it is in flex mode?
For example; Say I have an audio track with some regions in it, I open flex view and select one of the algorithms to suit. Job done and all of the regions are analysed and the transient markers are added.
Then, later on I decide to add another region to the audio track from another track but when this is inserted it isn't analysed.
Reading the manual, one way of doing this is inserting your region into the track and from the inspector's region parameter box you check the box but is there a quicker way of doing it?

As far as I know, there is no other way (e.g., a key command). But keep in mind that you don't need to do this one region at a time, or even one track at a time. If you create a selection of many regions, you can turn Flex on for all of them by clicking once on the checkbox in the Region Inspector. And this works even if the selected regions don't all reside on the same track.
Along these lines, it's helpful to know that when you select a track, all the regions on that track are selected, by default. And then if you shift-click another track header, all the regions on that track will be added to the selection.
And if the selection includes regions that already have the Flex parameter turned on, when you click the checkbox you'll get the proper result (i.e., they will remain Flexed). This means that if your arrangement includes both Flexed regions and unFlexed regions, and you want them all to be Flexed, you can just do ⌘A (Select All) and then click the checkbox once. And it doesn't matter if the selection includes midi regions, because they will just be ignored.
Finally, here's a related tip. When selecting a Flex mode from the Flex menu, your action will be applied to all tracks (all audio tracks, that is) if you use the shift key. (You don't have to hold down that key during the whole process of pulling down the menu; it just needs to be down at the moment you release the menu.) This works in either the menu in the track header that becomes visible when you do ⌘F (Flex View), or the Flex menu that appears in the Track Inspector.
