Mapping search and sample capture in Traktor 2.5 - help?
I’m just getting into controller mapping for my keyboard, S2 and Traktor Pro 2.5… I’ve read a lot of threads but have not been able to find anything related to these specific mappings. Would love help from the experts

Is it possible to send extra information along with a triggered Control? I want to map a hotkey to search for a particular term in the current playlist.
F1 → Search for “transition”
[longer-term goal is to use this to make “smart playlists” through search. If I could just save specific searches to the “favorite playlists” that would work too] -
Is it possible to map the new 2.5 Remix decks to act more like the old Sample decks? I don’t have an F1. When I capture a loop into a remix slot it used to start that loop playing in sync, now it starts paused and I have to manually start it. (which usually means having to wait a few bars
Deck A button 1 when in S2’s Sample mode → capture from deck A into Deck 1 slot 1 and play from start
I’m familiar with adding multiple mappings to the same key to enable more complex controls but can’t seem to find a good combo to get what I want… Thanks for any help!
