Import .txt Softkey for Macro Contents

• Direct Macro Import Request:

  • Suggesting an 8th softkey in Macro Contents context for direct import of macro contents into Eos.
  • This feature would allow saving, storing, and importing macros outside the Eos file structure.
    
    
    

• Current Process vs. Proposed Process:

  • Present method involves multiple steps using ASCII show files.
  • Proposed method simplifies to importing a .txt into a macro and running it.
    
    
    

• Usage Scenario:

  • Software I'm developing requires transferring bulk data into Eos by my end user
  • My users receive a .txt file to transfer to the board, I'm suggesting a simpler import method.
    
    

• Macro Sharing:

  • Proposing "Export" softkey as well for enhanced macro sharing throughout the community.
    
    
    

• Search Bar Feedback:

  • Search bar placement in lower left corner is unconventional
  • Suggesting more typical top or top-right placement.
  • Suggesting an autocomplete/intellisense feature similar to IDEs.
    
    
    

• Softkeys Organization:

  • Proposing sorting softkeys into contexts in a list view rather than an alphabetical mix of tiles.
  • Suggesting mimicking the softkeys' UI representation for intuitive macro building

I wrote a long essay and had ChatGPT write a SparkNotes version.
