How to turn it on
In Settings → Set up buttons, under Advanced gestures, turn on “Key flicks”. Each button already comes with the second trick the deck suggests; to change it, tap the slot, Second and the trick. No second removes it and Use the deck pairs goes back to the deck’s pairs.
What it looks like
The second trick is written small in one corner of the button. While you swipe, the trick about to be logged shows in large type; on release, it goes into the strip like any other. If it is an aerial, you are asked for the grab, just as when you tap it.

If you swipe too little or sideways, it is cancelled and nothing is logged. If you make a mistake, Undo removes the last one.
