The terminology is not consistent in DAS, and this leads to confusion.
What Lee and I are referring to as Hotkeys:
-Ability to program executions, chart switching, zoom, etc. via keyboard commands
-Andrew provides a hotkey file for onboarders (Hotkey.htk)
-Configured by menu path: Setup > Hot Key
-These commands are global and work across all Montages, as well as charts and within DAS generally
What Lee and I are referring to as Hot Buttons:
-The execution buttons located in the Montage window
-Andrew demonstrates how to create the buttons here
-Configured by right-clicking Montage > Layout Config > adding Hotkey to Window > Adding rows and buttons
-Montage-specific. Can create different buttons for each Montage
-When loading a new Montage from default, the hot buttons are loaded as well. However, new Montage becomes forever linked to first Montage (the bug being discussed in this post)
-Seems you have to create the hot buttons manually in each additional Montage (to avoid the "linked" issue)
I hope that clears things up.
