Nomad Patch Database Can't Type Text Unless I Change Command Edit Mode

Windows Nomad 2.7.2

I'm putting info into the patch database for my show. When I select channels and click any of the "Text" database fields I can't type text unless I change the Command Edit Mode. This doesn't happen when labeling channels in patch, I can always type labels there without changing Command Edit Mode. It would be great to not have to switch modes all the time to add info to the database.

You can choose New Keyword. The reason why you have to choose that is otherwise the on screen keyboard (which opens in the CIA would block the buttons of the existing keywords.

When you select the Textbox in Database mode, you get a list of previously used text fields to select from.
(This is primarily done so all of your text is the same value and you don't have a "Source 4" & a "Sorce 4" because you happen to suck at typing.)
but if you then hit Label key, you can easily enter a new text value.

LPT: I made a series of macros I keep on a direct select ribbon at the bottom of my Patch screen to fill in database fields with one click.
I patch a 19° & click my 19° Label Macro, it fills in data fields for Manufacturer, Instrument type, Beam spread, and wattage.

Ok, working with one monitor, so wasn't even looking at the other "screen". Thanks
