I have the t3/t4 buttons of my saintek pro yoke quadrant configured to move the heading bug via send simulation event. I set the buttonmode to repeat so that I can hold it down to move the bug when the mode switch is in the 2 position.
I have the same buttons configured to send a key stroke to pop up the GPS and VoxATC panels when in mode 3. Naturally I want the key sent only once (buttonmode: normal)
No matter what I do, the configured button value will not stay put. I checked the XML profile and the proper values appear to be written during the save operation but when I reload the profile the buttonmode values are incorrect. Even though the XML has different values, the UI and behavior is the same whether in mode 2 or 3.
Here is the relevant xml

Re: Throttle quadrant button won’t stay configured
It's currently not possible to have diffrent buttonmodes for the diffrent joystick modes.
(It's on todo list)
