Hi @cornucopia! This is interesting interface behavior and I think I’ll try to work some of it in as advanced interface behaviour in TapPatch (which I’m finally climbing back on to now that V2 is close). Feel free to post there (or here) if you have more specific thoughts about how it could operate.
Some of the more advanced features would require a database of port types on modules (which is actually not entirely out of the question but would be a large project that would need community buy-in) but the ones based on location and module ID might be useable.
BTW, TapPatch is designed to interoperate with mouse cabling, so you could do the first connection with mouse and just use TapPatch for the guesstimate commands.
