Do a Save LanBox (or Rec key), so it will always be in 5, layer A 
after power up.

Yes, the method is simple, but takes a few key strokes.

No, the firmware does not support macros, but there are several 
options to achieve the same:

1. Use a programmable IR remote which can do macros.
2. If you have a LanBox-LCX or LCE, use WIFI and LCedit for PDA; You 
have up to 150 Macro buttons.
3. Write a control cue, so that you can select your cues with the 
next/previous keys.

Those are key values, so you can assign any key to a function, but 
you can not create new functions or macros.
