I wonder of the 6 buttons on the Electra can be programmed to jump to some LUA code function? If that is possible, can someone please tell me what code I should use to override the default action?

I coming back to idea of making it possible to assign custom functionality buttons regularly. And from the very beginning of the project… It could be very handy, but I am a bit worried that it could be also rather confusing when presets are shared. Next to that, it is a question if such an assignment should be done for the controller (ie. a configuration) or per preset. These are the reasons why I have been keeping myself from adding support for that.
