David "Rex" Whalen Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 It may be my system or browser, but I seem to observe that the 'autoFill' feature of 'added' Channel Sets do not autoFill any previous entry. The first block will suggest previous entries, but any subsequent entry will not suggest the same values I keep inputting into those slots?? Ex: on a rotation attribute I want a [min-home-max] set of presets, I'm always inputting "-180 Degrees" in the first slot and it always autoFills when I've got a few characters typed and I see more than a single entry[as I would expect], but in the second slot, which would be a 'home' or "0 Degrees" entry name, it never suggests anything to help save a few keystrokes...or the final channel set. I'm always fully typing the name. I guess I could Copy/Paste Channels?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David "Rex" Whalen Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 ...when you add 'Multiple' Channels, do the proceeding slots not autoFill...only the first slot will give the helping hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petr Vanek - Robe Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Do you mean "browser autofill", not the builder provided Auto Fill sets, right? (this one: ) I think the generic autofill can actually get in the way a lot and copy/paste seems much safer. I would suggest a clipboard manager, i have been using https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/ although not on Windows/OSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David "Rex" Whalen Posted June 14, 2021 Author Share Posted June 14, 2021 (edited) No, no...not that button[Auto-fill Channel Sets]. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding...the process. I'm speaking of the "Add Multiple Channel Sets" button and the dialog that pops with 2 as the default value, assuming for a min-max range setup? The first slot browser autofills/suggests and each subsequent entry field does not when you add multiple presets for the range of DMX? So I end up having to fully type 'max' for example when I'm in slot2, when slot1 I only have to type 'm' and I'm presented with my previous entries... I wasn't dividing up the Attribute into separate ranges/functions, assuming that is what the feature is intended for? As in a Shutter, where 'off' is one function of the Channel, 'strobe' is another, etc...I'm not doing that. I've never utilized a 3rd party manager for copy/pasting, hmmm....I do like to see a populated list though, for selection, on the fly when I'm already in an active entry field. As it is, I left hand the text entry bits and right hand the mouse for click selection and 10-key entry, ;), PC gamer style...swapping tween mouse and 10-key. This KB actually has a set of 18x3 pages of 'hot buttons' to map to functions as well, so a 10-key AND an 18-key, FTW. More is always better, no? LOL. Thanks!

Petr Vanek - Robe Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The "Add Multiple channel sets" is not doing anything clever like "something through something", it simple adds multiple (x) empty sets. >fully type 'max' for example when I'm in slot2, when slot1 I only have to type 'm' and I'm presented with my previous entries... So this is browser autofill what you mean, i think. Mine suggests completely different things (Firefox 89)... >I've never utilized a 3rd party manager for copy/pasting, Once you start using it, there is no way back. 🙂 Set the "Show the tray menu" to something you can easily evoke, i have it to Ctrl-Alt-Z (on a qwerty kbd), or choose one of your clever buttons, this allows you to pop it up fast, you can then either search by typing, fast select required row from the clipboard list by it's number or do some other magic like set vi style nav, so j/k is down/up to keep hands on the home row. cheers 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
