Re: Drivers accidentally enabling Auto/Practice mode

Do you recall whether this was done with the mouse or the F1 shortcut?

One of the reasons I ask is that the button label could be made more explicit. Instead of saying Enable, and relying on the user to look at the mode section to verify what mode will be enabled, the button could replicate the info and be labeled as "Enable Auto" vs "Enable Tele". This would avoid the mode change side-effect and would help reenforce what the user is about to enable.

This doesn't help much if the F1 key is being used. But that could be removed. I don't think many people use it.

BTW, thanks for bringing this up, here or on the FIRST forum.
