Queation about OS 2 XL...

Customize of MAIN and NUMERIC key? What exactly is customizable? This sounds really interesting... It's december 1st. Should be any time now.

It's a pretty cool feature...this video explains it

if someone doesn't mind giving a quik explanation of the feature, i can't see that youtube video for some reason...

you can customize them to bring you to certain screens like gpe, grid edit, mixer, etc....

it works the same as the main button does now. you can pick whichever mode(s) you want to cycle through with the numeric key instead of using it to enter numbers. Probably stick with numeric mode myself though as I seem to use it fairly often and don't mind the mode -> pad really.

what do you mean by "the" numeric key?

What do you mean "mean"?

Funny as hell! It sounds like Phx_Chronic isn't aware actually of the numeric key. To be honest, I almost never use it myself!

Anyway... I don't love the stock method of changing modes using Mode + Pad, but this solution really doesn't look like much of an improvement to me. We will be able to use the main or numeric key to cycle between what, two modes? This is not a huge improvement.

Does anyone have a different analysis of the youtube video? It looks like main button will take you between main, and the last mode you were in. Then it looks like the numeric button can be assigned to bring you to a certain mode of your choice, and toggle between that and the previous mode you were in.

if i can pop in and out of gpe and trim i'll be happy

Well I retract my statement then
