Jim, A Left Edge function as you have described is a great idea and would really be handy. I presently use the Center function the same way you do. I keep four useful span settings in my FN3/FN7 and FN4/FN8 keys so that I don't have to jump back and forth between the Center and Span functions when adjusting the display to the size of the pileup.
