Is it possible to implement the "Go to Page"-functionality from the SD-Software into X-KeyPad?
Status quo:
In the Stream Deck software you can define a "Go to Page" and switch directly to the designated page.
Pro:
. Configurable in SD-Software, straight-forward.
Con:
. Consumes at least one button per page just for navigating between pages (I have only an SD+, so there are not many buttons).
. Background images to be defined in SD-Software (instead of doing this in X-KeyPad, as done for all other background images).
Feature Request (Feature 1):
It is possible to have this "Go to Page"-functionality defined/controlled in X-KeyPad?
Options in X-KeyPad:
. Define Target Page Number
. Define if to use a Long Press or Short Press for switching to another page.
. Should be applicable on buttons, touchscreens and rotary encoders.
Pro:
. High flexibility, no "waste" of buttons for navigating between pages.
. Use of Short Press for switching to other pages: this allows to define a Main-Selection-Page via X-Keypad and to jump to other pages.
. Use of Long Press: this allows to use the Short Press for the primary function of the button, while the long press allows to switch to another page.
. Displayed icons can be controlled by X-KeyPad, not set statically via SD-Software.
. Could simplify some complex page-designs in X-KeyPad:
Instead of defining a lot of complex definitions/logics to control which icon/text is currently displayed (e.g., for a second encoder definition on the same page), you can just switch to another pre-defined page.
Con:
. When modifying the page sequence in the SD-Software this needs to be adapted as well in X-KeyPad.
### Feature Request (Feature 2):
Extension of Feature1: The transition back to the initial page is controlled via a timeout:
When for 'timeout' seconds there is no activity on the SD, it will automatically transition back to the last page (similar feature is available in X-KeyPad for transitioning between encoder definitions).
This would allow to switch to the COM-Page, set the frequency and leave it alone (It will switch back to the MainPage automatically (or whichever page was active before)).
