Edit Reason: extra info about TREF

Hi, I am a new user and I am currently exploring the launchpad icw the trigger 16 expander.
I think it works really nice how you can edit 8 outputs with the launch pad!
Small thing: I like how you can select the next 8 steps as well, but for a 16 step sequence it scrolls down in the pattern view so that you don't see the top 8 anymore. I would like it that it would only scroll if necessary.
What I miss is an option to select the other 8 outputs while editing. I know that there is a 'swap outputs' track setting, but I didn't figure out a way to do it directly.
Maybe there is a way to make a mapping possible to connect the Z button of the I2C expander to this track setting? (are those buttons available as inputs?)
Alternatively I might couple a press of the Pattern button to it (alternating).
I also didn't find that destination yet, but maybe the TREF type trigger can be coupled to it? Not sure how yet btw. TREF appears to be local, or is it possible to send it from another track to change the setting of the current track?
One issue with TREF is that it doesn't send and update message to the launchpad, so the new state is not reflected yet on the launchpad.
EDIT: how TREF is handled in the normal trigger columns (ie not the pattern view) is also a bit odd: it doesn't seem to do anything initially, but after you scroll left/right (triggering an update I guess) you see the triggers of the other 8 outputs. However the labels above the tracks still mention the previous 8 outputs, so this might lead you to think that you editing something else.
Like I said, I am new to this, maybe I should approach this another way, any ideas/suggestions?
While trying this I found a little bug with the combination: swap outputs==on, launchpad and pattern view
The launchpad presses set or remove triggers on the expected steps, however the active location in the pattern (red) is wrong: it is activating the location as if swap outputs is off. (I have made a video of this, Thomas let me know if you would like to see it)
