Momentary Button multiple sending

Question

I think it could be useful to make the momentary button able to send repetitive messages when keeping fingers on it. it would be very useful for momentary step buttons.

Thanks

Comments

1) Great idea
2) Never thought about that
3) How fast would it send? My guess is that there's an ideal speed, which we'll have to figure out.

I think the speed should be increasing, I mean slow at the beginning  and then faster if you keep on holding the finger on. Like the behavior of standard "Del" key on keyboard when you want to cancel a sentence.

Fascinating idea. Will add it to the suggestions list. Thanks!

You might want to check out relative controls. Above and beyond would be if you would post some explanation of what you've found, since there's no docs on relative controls yet. Also note:

Feel free to ask AND answer your own questions. I surely have here and on SO (http://stackoverflow.com/users/8047/yar) ;)

There is a way around to have a triggerbutton trigger more the ones. Rather not the way you want it but could be usefull I think.
