!!Sorry for the double-post!!
As much as I see keystroke programming a catapult to the stone age, I'm rather fond of it for what it is meant for. Given, in the 65/67/34C eras, 100, 224 and 210 steps respectively, weren't that much, so a keystroke approach wasn't that painful. Although, the 15C's still ahead of its time, its 448 step limit is yes, a bit overwhelming and exhausting. But, given the 15C's capabilities and, although its lack of external storage into an SD card, etc, the 15C is worth the keystroke effort.
But, as for the new era of the 32SII and following keystroke programmables, I also limit myself to making concessions so as to merit the effort put into keying in relevant apps I need at the time.
Although yes, it is rather a PITA (not the bread, though) and gone are the days of Rapid Reverse Branching and the 67
& 34C's downward label searches from the current program step (and that was why it was so cool you could reuse labels), another way around it for me is that although I have 26-one-time-only labels at my disposal, I rewrite my code to use different labels then the ones currently in program memory.
