On the shuttle Pro, where are the buttons assigned to?
Are there tips/hints as to where programmable buttons can be used for 
(i.c.w.  shuttle/jog)?

In case of keystrokes, for selecting intensity of i.e. frontlight in 
layer C, I made the following (showing how x-keys macro maker shows it):
n [down]
n [up]
c [down]
c [up]
return [down]
return [up]
l [down]
l [up]
7 [down]
7 [up]
return [down]
return [up]
v [down]
v [up]
return [down]
return [up]

Now, for some reason I do not understand, it did not work, and the CLI 
was showing "l?" greyed out.

So I thought, let's make the commandscreen active first using "command 
4" (in my case). So:
command [down]
4 [down]
4 [up]
command [up]
n [down]
n [up]
c [down]
c [up]
return [down]
return [up]
l [down]
l [up]
7 [down]
7 [up]
return [down]
return [up]
v [down]
v [up]
return [down]
return [up]

This actually worked at first, but then something strange happened, and 
LC-edit resulted an exeptional error.
I forgot to make a printscreen and needed to go on.
Later I saw in the x-keys macro editor that a few lines where swapped in 
the hurry, like:
n [down]
c [down]
n [up]
c [up]

That shouldn't be a problem, because manually it works that way too!

This keystroke is quite long, I'd rather have made it in LCedit, but 
macro's can only be made for lanbox-actions, not for LCedit actions.  
And all I really wanted to do was to select the frontlight, select layer 
C, (in one press of a button) and adjust the intensity (using the 
jog-wheel)!

Is there an very easy way that I am just overlooking?
