No THRU key on (USB-)keyboard

Recommended Posts

Creating and editing theatre cues on the FLX S console is ways easier since I installed a simple USB keyboard. Now I may enter intensities directly by means of the (physical) numeric keypad and don't need to toggle screens by means of the "Z/SHIFT" key. "*" on the keyboard is equivalent to "AT", "-" to "EXCEPT" etc. Unfortunately there is no equivalent for the THRU soft key. Why did zero88 not use the "/" key for this? Could this be implemented in a next firmware version?

">" acts as THRU

There's a full list of keyboard shortcuts for FLX S available here: https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts#flxs

ZerOS uses "/" in lots of syntax, meaning it wasn't available for THRU. For example, on an ORB, the syntax "CUE a/b TIME x/y ENTER" applies an up time of "a" and a down time of "b" to cue "y" of Cue Stack "x"
