I know. The way it works now, the tip goes away until you get another tip
somewhere else.

CDJ is supposed to take care of this automatically. It knows which players
can store memos. I just looked at the code and there was a loophole I left
which is giving you this warning. It's fixed for the next version so that it
will just skip everything in those players like it is supposed to.

the stepping would be more complicated. people don't necessarily have all of
those windows open. your point is taken though. the problem right now is
that with the docking windows we're using, it's hard to even indicate where
the focus is, which is important for the user to know if they are supposedly
navigating them. in some ways i'm reluctant to add to much to this UI
because I feel like totally redoing it. I'm not sure how soon that will
happen though...
