When clicking the keypad with the mouse, sometimes the blue selection mouse pointer appears along the grey input note, and I have to hit escape to get rid of it. Is there any way of just disabling the mouse input function?

2nd question: is there any way to make the keypad automatically turn back to the first lay-out (common notes) say after 10 seconds or so. Keep clicking to go back.
Or: can one have two keypads active at the same time? Plug-in?

"N" on your keyboard, toggles note input on and off.
I don't know of any way to have the keypad return to note input automatically. I would think that would be very annoying if I were doing some articulation edits that took a long time.
I also don't think two or more keypads are possible. It would take up a lot of screen space and not everyone can move stuff to a second screen.
