Hello Dave,

Many thanks for having given this a second thought!

To be more precise: py soudncart has starting crackling withoutme
changing anything. I alreadyhad this behaviour on my laptop a few years
ago and the only fix, then, was to change themotherboard, which I don't
I will do once more, rahter leaning to buying an external sound card.

As far as alert dots are concerned:I am still a bit wondeirng hohw I
could take advantage of them in the sense that for the commands I am
intereste in, I hove to use both hands to perform the commands. For
instance, to start a SMART_COPY I need one hand to press the routing key
to state where the smartcopy starts, and with the other hand Ihave to
press the device's function key to indicate a clipboard is started. Then
I need to wait until I get the aloert to report it's a longpress but I
am unsure yet I will actually be able to read it since none of my hands
can be on the device.

Am I maybe missing something?

All thebest,

Seb.
