multiple override pages and keyboard shortcuts.

I have several override sequences set up and then linked to keyboard shortcuts for quick live changes. It works well for one page of overrides. Now I want to use a second page, but when I do, I lose the functionality of the keyboard shortcuts of the overrides on page 1. I'd like to be able to use extra pages and still keep the functionality of the hotkey/1st page overrides. What am I missing here? How do I do this? Thanks for looking.

Also on the topic of overrides, I think a nice functionality would be for it to automatically change from flash mode to toggle mode if you hold down the button for, say 5sec. That way if you bump an override, but decide you want to keep it on, you can eventually let go of the button.

I think the problem is that you run out of keyboard shortcuts (2 pages = 60 keys). You may consider getting a midi control device.

Yeah, I use keyboard shortcuts myself and find it annoying there's not enough. But remember that 60 keys is a lot to remember in the middle of a show and you may want to look at external control (i.e midi device) like Partyman said. I've been looking myself and think it's the way to go, especially for the work I do anyways as I think trying to remember 60 keys is asking to much for anyone.
