Yes, absolutely, this is to help with Expresskeys assigned functions, independently of LED or even OLED. > 2.

What I have in mind is to define 4 blocks of buttons, one per side, and locate the buttons relative to these blocks so that it's remains independent of the overall size. > >> I would really like to move forward with this, while at the same time >> keeping things simple enough. > I am with you.
