That was it! Looks like the last selection is saved. And since Fn (it might be called like that I guess... + Space counts as a normal spacebar in the game which uses up the few full-screen-eraser-shots you have I never did try that combination sufficiently often.

I guess I'll need keyboard mode for the zeemote... at least that's what will work with the zeecontrol mappings (which is what I made work so far in about 1 1/2h of educated guessing . Using it as a real joystick seems to be possible but it needs a bit more time and editing in the x-configuration.

Regards and many thanks again!
