Keeping a channel selected upon 'record'

Question

I feel as though I knew this at one time but have forgotten: 
 
 Last night I was building a bunch of position presets (presets so we could include beam params). Everytime I recorded I would have to reselect the unit to continue working with it. I know there is a way to globally tell the console to not release control of the unit but is there a way on a smaller basis (maybe via a snapshot)?

We deselect channels on a record action because we support selective storing. If we didn't do this, you'd have to clear your channel selection before doing a record action. But you will find that as long as you still have record, record only or update still on the command line, the next manual change that you make will automatically reselect your last channel set. 
 Hope that helps!
