User-defined Button vs Application

Repeated tapping of a user defined button doesn't seem to be passed on to the program if it is already open. For instance, repeated pressing of the To-do hard button will cycle through different categories. Repeated tapping of a user defined button set to the To-Do program does not change the category.

Currently, we are mapping Applications to the Application Bar positions. Alan tells me we can easily also allow mapping "Buttons," as they are defined in Prefs.

The difference is that tapping an Application will launch it. Tapping a "Button" would have the effect you describe. Implementation is not the issue. The only drawback is that this is so subtle that it may result in support calls :-{{

Perhaps putting the "Buttons" last in the list like "X DateBk button" may be sufficient. Of course adding this to the documentation that nobody reads is not the answer. :)
