I figured it might have originally been this way because some devices might not accept simultaneous inputs, but thought I'd mention it in the case of DM42 anyway. It may have been discussed at some point on the Swiss Micros forums, I know I didn't read everything over there.

Sure, no problem. I should have said (logical, if you think about it, which I hadn't either until this question).

I too often find I am using the 'classic style' Alpha menu without thinking about it, I guess from years of using a real 42S. But in those years, I don't think I discovered the trick of holding down shift like this. I rarely used lower case Alpha except for certain output labels, specifically because it was a pain to use.
