Folders with Custom Direct Selects

Hello, is there a way to have a sort of folder like structure to Custom Direct Selects. I want to have the 10 OLED keys on Apex be a seperate category "folder", to divide my macros up. When pressed it would show me all relevant macros (thought of using the Jump To function). And in these folders I would have the two next/prev arrows and a return to root button. This is probably not possible natively but is there a method of achieving a similar behaviour? Would love to divide everything up instead of paging up and down all the time to get to a particular macro number, for example from Macros 1001-1010 to 1071-1080 would require 6 presses.

    disclaimer: i have not actually tried this

    your main page: JumpTo 101, JumpTo 201, JumpTo 301,...
    your 1st subpage: 101, 102, 103, ..., JumpTo 1
    your 2nd subage: 201, 202, 203, ..., JumpTo 1
    your 3rd subpage: 301, 302, 303, ..., JumpTo 1
    ...

    Thanks for the help, Ueli! I got this to work, the thing was though that this limits me to 9 macros per category, and 9 categories total. I am trying to have paging arrows in each category that would page through only a specific CDS but it will page to an empty page that I can’t get out of. I’ll have to do a little more testing tomorrow and see what I can come up with. I’m really happy with the OLED’s and trying to make a solid workflow out of them that can be then added to a touchscreen on older desks when required.

    don't forget you can not only change the OLEDs with arrow and jump buttons but also with snapshots. with a snapshot you can also use a button from another OLED bank e.g. to navigate to "home". maybe this will help to somehow incorporate more than 10 buttons?

    also: if you only need two pages for a subsection you don't need both arrow keys. in that case the down and the up arrow behave the same, maybe this also helps to not waste buttons

    Thanks Ueli. This works great except for the fact that I cannot put a label on the Jump to buttons. So I have no idea what I'm juumping to if for example I'm jumping between CDS's which is what I'd like to do. But Snapshots are a workaround for this, just on more target to have to merge between showfiles.
