Extracting the built-in actions for each default padpage (eq. cueloop, slicer, sampler, hotcues, beatjump, loop, etc...)
I have an idea and was recommended a technique to do it manually (thanks @djdad) but was hoping that I can do this through my plugin.
Here are the options for things to go 99% smoother.
1) Figure out where these actions are stored since they aren't in a text file like the custom pag pages (eq. custom, custom 2)
2) Capture the default pads actions somehow in C++ so I can save them in a vector or my own file.

The default pads are inside vdj.exe, until you modify them, then they become an external .xml
If you delete the .xml or rename the .xml then vdj will create a native page again.

Years ago I wrote some utilities that used callback functions to grab system and key events and I might be willing to relearn some of that to capture the keypress event of the pads as long as I can get the action it's sending to the VDJ engine. I just don't want to delve that far into a real daring territory unless I know for sure that will even work. I don't even think getting the key events will help.. arghhhh.

Option 1 : Spend 10 mins to manually extract the default Pad pages and get what you want.
Option 2. Spend countless hours/days searching for a way to get those "automatically" (or find another way to get the assigned actions) and most likely you won't get them still.
It's your choice :)
As explained in the PM, the default Pad pages will 99,9% remain the same in the future. I only see a possibility some new to be added but not any to be changed. But still you will be able to update your Addon in the future if anything new is added.

Thx @loco & @djdad
Man I think I'm too stubborn sometimes but I am probably going to bite the bullet and do it like you said @djdad
