Hotkey for Garmin Pay/Wallet?

Hi

It seems we are starting the cycle of "Can I have a hotkey for function XXX or YYY" with the 5X Plus that we've seen on the 5X :)

TIA

I also find this annoying and stresful and it really slows down the payment if I have to input the pin again, which I can not be sure of if needed.

This would be nice, but it's not there right now. Although I do not have any hot keys spare so not sure what I'd do if it were available. Most of the time my controls menu sits on the wallet, so it's normally only one extra press anyway.

Interesting idea, I will pass the idea on.

Though for now I would suggest reordering your Controls Menu.

Settings -> Controls -> Choose Wallet -> Reorder -> Move the Wallet to the first location

This would get it down to two button presses.

Thanks for the suggestion Heath... My controls menu does not default to the first position though when I open it. It defaults to last item selected which is fine when it's the wallet but obviously requires a lot more button presses if it's something else.
