   feedback, use the same schema ids should update the state on a permanent web page

+DONE:
++ pad menu should exit at left (the least)
+  ? can have edit blocks (non-preview) => require new attribute
++ padMenu: printMenu needs to return idx_t instead of void
   => why not an area? because it would send menu to a 2d thing.. .and its already huge for AVR's
     and using and area => that all printTo had to return an area
   - done so on a dumb mode where int means width and using original width return
     change it later to width,height
--2 mark exit options
+x mark exit options
   -> then we can zero index them
   -> can omit them on in-line pad preview
   => abandoned! options are marked with _Exit system style but no more
     because kb accels would go very complicated

 + separate functions as parentDraw, isMenu, asPad, etc... are inefficient
   => added `is` and `has` functions to deal with systemStyles, styles and events
 + check uint8_t types -> wrap and non-wrap ok
