Yeah, when I saw I had to hit [SHIFT] [MODE] to get to my often used CST menu I had to ask myself, why oh why did HP think we would be changing the MODE settings more than using the custom menu? Maybe folks do change that a lot. Dunno.

-117 did it! I have my menu back! So happy.

Good news, there are ways around that! One could rewrite the unshifted function of a key to function exactly like the CUSTOM key using userRPL, sysRPL, or the library KEYMAN. I recommend using KEYMAN because I have heard excellent reviews from forum members. If you don't want to download a library, go with userRPL. I suggest checking out the APPS or SYMB key to rewrite over because most of the functions they provide are redundant.

Personally, I rewrote the APPS key using sysRPL to get my unshifted CUSTOM key.

Hope it helps.
