Persistent custom menu for DM42

Post by ljubo »

Hi,

I have slightly changed Free42 code to make the custom menu the system base menu. For DM42 that behavior makes sense as DM42 has dedicated custom keys - for me this change greatly increases usability of the DM42.

The new behavior:
  • Custom menu is the base menu - custom commands are always directly accessible
  • Shift is temporary switching to the "upper" custom menu - those commands are just an additional click away
  • Shift-CUSTOM activates default DM42 F-Button functionality
  • In the Prgm mode Exit will exit custom menu - makes easy to access up and down arrows
  • Entering other menus will of course exit Custom menu
In the identical post in MoHPC you can find the zip file with the source code patch and precompiled new firmware: https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-16503.html

DM42-3.17-2.5.20pc has an ugly bug with "SHOW" function (freeze).
Please use DM42-3.17-2.5.20p3 instead (see https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-16503.html)
