Ok, so Dick and Bill suggested two similar approaches, one is to save a completely empty macro, one with just ";" in the macro. Both work the same way, and pressing M4-HOLD will flash "MACRO 2" and do nothing else, as expected. I don't remember how a "virgin" K3 behaves wrt empty M-keys, but I suspect that what John observed is the expected behaviour. Anyway, this mostly boils down to a curiosity, and the empty macro trick does what I want to achieve for the moment, until I'll come up with anothe use for it. Thanks to all for your attention
