All one need do is allocate 16C to one of the sixteen A->P shortcut keys in the CST menu of the DM41x; and then Shift USR is easily accessible in both the standard and USR keyboards.

I'm really surprised that configuring the USR key with a shifted value is possible seeing as it's not part of the core 35 USR keyboard keys on the original 41.

I'm presuming this solution only works for DM41x users, or is there a back door to to Shift USR on original 41 hardware too?

Great to hear that!

It works across all platforms (hey, that's a nice sentence to say...), V41, DM41X, CL, and of course the original machine. The WARP module also uses a couple of these assignments, nothing mysterious as the logical SHIFT-USER is different from the logical USER key. Ditto for PRGM and ALPHA of course.

It's also possible to assign functions to the SHIFTed SHIFT key, and in fact that's profusely used in the SandMath and 41Z launchers as well.
