[Feature Request](Editor): Placeholder for Preset Names

I use message scroll to scroll through presets. Each message is just an “Engage Preset” action. The scroll counter displayed by %G is useful, but not very descriptive. I’d like to display the current preset instead.

Acceptance Criteria:

  • A placeholder exists to display useful a description of each scroll counter value in a preset
  • User can name the preset something like “%M”, and the software will display the user-defined message for each value of the scroll counter

Dev Notes:

  • This seems tricky to achieve, since the message sent is decoupled from the scroll counter.
  • If there’s a way to track down the contents of the message, and display some relevant description, that could work
  • Otherwise, a most-recent preset placeholder could also work, though this could run into buggy behavior when toggling other switches in the same bank. (I use the C switch to scroll presets, and the A switch to toggle a boost for instance. If I switch to a preset with C, but then click A to engage the boost, I’m assuming the most-recent preset implementation would change to “Boost”, which would obscure the setting I’m really trying to track…)
  • A user-defined mapping of scroll counters to descriptive messages could be the answer, although that would require UX to implement. Let the user define a message for each scroll counter position

Thanks for the feedback.

There is a certain way to do this.

  1. Add a Press action to set the number of messages to scroll through
  2. Add a Preset rename message to rename the preset to your liking

Would this work in your case?

Hey, thanks for the tip! Yeah, this works. I wish the names could have more than 4 letters, but it’s much more useful than the number alone.

Hi, i am looking for that exact feature. I also found out, that the 2 messages work for me, but I wan’t to include a long press one step back button. You have the change direction once and execute thing, or long press turn direction and execute and long press release turn back, but somehow it just does not execute just the 2 previous messages. is there a way around? the best was would actually be a Placeholder with the Preset name. That would be killer. Thank you very much. Benjamin
