Only if you have the "reset all" on the first page, if not then it is: shift, catalog, pgm, up/down (until the page with the favorite program is shown), favorite program (for this I need my reading glasses, F3 would work without them).

Re: The unused top function key
If starting with a blank statefile the "reset all" program is the first one loaded, then to access it you just need to do either: XEQ "reset all" if it is on the first page , or: XEQ up "reset all" if not.
So 2 or 3 keystrokes.
Not saying that it would not be useful to assign a program to F3, but the standard DM42 program menu system is not so bad...

Re: The unused top function key
Thats exact the way I do it but ....
If you had reset and allready loaded some programs then you can either delete all again or the "reset all" is on a position between.
If it is the first one loaded, then it cycles the position with every further program.
Interesting what contortions some people make just to protect a useless button. I'm sure there are many clumsy ways to get what you want, but I would prefer the easiest way.

Re: The unused top function key
Or just press XEQ, which brings up the PGM catalog as well. If you keep the "reset all" program at the end of the catalog, it takes three keystrokes to run it.
Re: The unused top function key
This is precisely what I do. I have a little script that concatenates all my programs together in a specific order. I then reset the free42 on my laptop, open program mode, and paste in the code. That puts two programs at the front of the list when I hit XEQ: MKCM (creates my custom menu) & SPREF (sets my preferences).Thomas Okken wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 1:32 amOr just press XEQ, which brings up the PGM catalog as well.

Re: The unused top function key
Recently my favorite route to the city was blocked by a construction site and I now have to either take the right route with the potholes or the left route where the traffic is calmed because of the nursing home and kindergarten.
Whenever I mention that my favorite route is closed, I am told again and again that I can choose the right or left alternative route.

Re: The unused top function key
I have implemented F3 binding to "DM42F3" user defined function.
It is not well tested, but if you would like to try and test it see https://github.com/ljubo106/DM42pcm/rel ... cm-3.19.6a
Let me know if it's working and solving the discussed problem (at least to some extent).

Re: The unused top function key
Just flashed the DM42pcm-3.19.6a.pgm and it seems to work fine. The blank F3 key now starts the program DM42F3 and no error found so far.
A little bit strange in PRG-Mode - F3 executes DM42F3 and junps to the LBL DM42F3.

Re: The unused top function key
I spotted the issue with the program mode too (will be fixed with next release).
Also, will probably assign shift-F3 to toggle persistent custom menu functionality.
