Daniel,

I saw you have added a tip on hard key macros to your Pronto review, but I'm afraid the information you provide is not entirely correct (unless I misunderstand what you mean by 'global'). Every macro group, like every component, has its own hard key definition. But unlike component hard keys, macro group hard keys are macros. Only a 'home' hard key definition (which can only be a single IR code) is global in the sense that that definition is used if that hard key is not defined in the currently active component or macro group. The reason that the left and right key can not be assigned a macro is that these keys already have a system function when a macro group is active.

I guess it would have been nice if every soft button or key (not just the ones in macro groups) could be assigned a macro, but we already had a hard time balancing flexibility and ease of use. The good news is that this limitation only exists in the Pronto user interface...

Jan
