I ordered a URC-RF10. While waiting, been reading posts on remotecentral and saw some on "hiding" macros in shifted buttons. What does that mean and how can I do that when I receive my RF10?

Thanks,
Raptor

You can hide the commands that make up the macro on shifted keys, to hide the macro itself, add a pause or two to the front of each macro, switching it to press and hold macro, it won't fire until you hold a bit.

Hi Edmund,

What's the advantage of hiding commands that make up a macro on a shifted key?

After more research I'm wondering is it because macros are modeless so storing them on shifted keys assures the user that ALL non-shifted keys for all devices can be unique?

On the other hand, a shifted key which holds a macro will execute the same macro no matter which mode (device) is selected on the remote?

Thanks,
Raptor
