CST Custom Menu
Hello @c3d,
what are your thoughts about implementing a CST (HP48 like) menu within VAR?

The current VAR menu uses a lot of screen real-estate having the <<variable>> in the first line, then Variable> in the second and >variable in the third, but for programs, it is not common to use the shifted options in a day to day. As more programs are added, the older programs are shifted to the next screen and so on. It is not too convenient.

the Var menu contains programs but also variables and other objects, I had an idea that with one click VAR it could open a 3x6 menu grid (for F1-F6, shifted and double shifted) with your favorite programs (like WP43/C47), and with double click VAR, it enters the current VAR menu.
You reassigned the ASN key to "as number", but maybe it can have double function,
example, if in VAR menu, ASN could assign the program/variable to one of the CST locations.

I read the change notes and I know you are implementing the Library as CST, when I loaded the library files in the DM42, they are all in one folder, but they show in the calculator under sub menus, I am not sure how this is organized and how to customize it. maybe this is where this is going and you can shed some light.

I guess that my idea of using VAR as one or two clicks is more practical to access the programs, rather than using a shifted key.

I am interested in your thoughts.
thanks for the amazing work.
