macros on device keys helps as much as it hurts

[Willy]

Ok, I have nice macros on my device keys and it's great. Just about anything that could possibly go wrong when the wife uses the remote is avoided, plus if she does somehow get something screwed up simply pressing the device button again sorts it out...very nice!

BUT, when I use the remote I can't get to some devices directly to tweak them due to having macros on the device keys. This must be a common issue, so what's the best way to handle that?

Thanks for all the help so far, you've all made this pretty easy!

Try hitting shift-[device key] and see if that puts the remote directly into the mode assigned to that device key.
