7.5 still works that way, with IR and SB3:-
1A. press numeric in menu - jump to that option number (i.e. '3' in
home menu jumps to 3 of 9 - Internet Radio, in my case)
1B. press numeric in list - jump to that letter (i.e. '3' cycles
through D,E,F)
2.  press and hold numeric - replace playlist with preset
3.  press,hold and keep holding numeric - set preset to current menu
selection (presumably only if it is a playable item).

Option 3 doesn't seem to work well, i.e. the press part of P,H&K moves
you in the menu and therefore you don't save the item you originally
selected!! Never used on previous releases, so not sure if this is a new
problem, but it exists in 7.4.1 and 7.5.

However, if you point the IR at the SB Radio then the top functionality
is gone and you only have preset functionality.

Personally I never used presets with SB3 or Boom but can see the value
(especially with Radio), I think having to use the physical buttons on
Radio and Boom to set the preset would be fine (and overcomes the above
difficulty). Leaving presets as is on SB3 is okay by me, assuming those
that use it will know and raise the problem I have mentioned.

Therefore having the following options for SqueezePlay would enable IR
users to choose to have consistent operation between SB3 and
Radio/Touch. I don't think option 1 need be 'ported' back to SB3.

Option (1) "numerics = preset" Default
Press Numeric = Jump to Preset
Press and Hold Numeric = Set Preset

Option (2) "numerics = navigate"
Press Numeric = Navigate (context specific)
Press and Hold Numeric = Jump to Preset if available.
Press, Hold and Keep Holding = Set preset

Configuring each numeric separately doesn't seem correct but would fit
with the 7.5 'shortcuts' beta option.

I'll raise this as an enhancement and see what Tom makes of it
(and carve out from https://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14990
which I raised yesterday).
