Remember the last pad the user was on when the popup keypad was last closed

I categorize my macros on the popup keypad by pad. It would be handy to be able to set an option to retain the last used pad. So, the next time I open the popup keypad and the previous time I had it open I ran a macro on pad 2 for instance, it would next open the popup keypad to pad 2.

    We understand your request and the functionality already exists. If the last used popup keypad is not being displayed, then it is not saving changes. This could be either a configuration or authority issue in your environment. For example, your session may be configured to not save on exit, or you may not have authority to update the .hod file. If you need further assistance, contact the IBM Service team.

    Thank you for submitting your Idea to enhance IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS). When using a 5250 emulator display session that has a saved configuration (ie .hod file), the last used popup keypad is already being saved and is the one displayed at next use. If you are having issues with that, contact our IBM Service team for help.
