Keypad functionality for dialing in specific values

Question

Hi,  I am able to get a bank and patch change stepper to work now.  It would be useful to also have the capability to create a keypad (or buttons 0-9) that could be used to dial in a specific value...for instance patch # 121.

Not sure if it can be done somehow with grouping controls (0-9 buttons) where you only send the full value at the end of so many button presses (definable), or simply a super control that takes all of the values output from button groups and only sends them when the control is hit...sort of like a submit button.

there's no keypad in MD, though it's a valid suggestion, thank you! Regarding the other piece:

1) http://mididesigner.com/wiki/doku.php/manual:chapter-relationships#subcontrols_send_current_value
2) Note that under Options as Sub you also have "Send Only on Supercontrol Change"

So that lets you dial in a value and when it's all set up, send it like a submit button. Does that help?

I think this is a good idea also but I'll add that it might be a good idea to make it so knobs, sliders, et al are extended so they can be configured to allow them to launch a popup to do this.
