Setting up my Live page...

[Detour DJ]

Hi All,
As I set up my Live page for the first time, I keep changing my logic and layout to make it as intuitive and quick as possible. I started out with just Buttons #1 set to 8 pages (each page handling either Master scenes, Solo highlights, FX, or specific groups of similar fixtures), then expanded to both Buttons #1 & #2 set to 4 pages each with #2 being dedicated to my various movers (for more button area). I've just spent an evening changing it again to only Buttons #1 set to 4 pages and not using Buttons #2 at all to avoid switching between Buttons #1 & #2. I've consolidated the 4 pages into Master scenes (generally RGB washes and blackouts), Solo/Special FX, all high-mounted movers, and all low-mounted movers.

I'd like to use the Buttons #2 window, but it just seems like switching windows will slow me down. Is there a secret keyboard shortcut that will toggle between the Buttons windows or allow quick access without having to zero in the mouse on the tiny window sizing buttons every time I need to swap views? I noticed the "one-button" keyboard shortcuts use "CTRL" + "Shift" and any letter keys. How about "CTRL" + "Shift" and "1" or "2" for permanent, quick access to the Button #1 or #2 windows while in Live?

Just a thought for an easy code change that could make live use of ShowX that much quicker. After being badly frustrated by ADJ's MyDMX live "user" page for several years, ShowX is amazing. As I get used to it though, I can see small areas for improvement and I'm glad to know Chauvet's development team welcomes suggestions. Thanks!

Button#2 is basically made for a second monitor, where its window is always open.
Switching between Buttons#1 and Buttons#2 within the same monitor will always take some time, whatever we use to do it (mouse or keboard).

We presently have no solution to refresh a complete window with several buttons and pages, faster than we currently do.

Okay...thanks!
