Embrace ^^/==/~~ for OFF/===/REL as default.

[gtr3qq]

When I first discovered how to do note cut, being greeted by capitalized 'OFF' gives me a rather unrefined unfinished impression.
Also, it's a new experience. As AT2 Fami MPT and many many others don't use such.
I was confused.

Took one long enough to finally have time to dig around the settings menu to find it's configurable. A time enough to get used to it that lost the interest to change it.

With increasing popularity, could it be high time to ditch the defltemask's way and embrace a more commonly used/seen way?
It'd avoid a lot of confusion between a sea of trackers.
and could be seen as a fine example to convey that Furnace is done with defltemask and now moves towards grander, more refined things than it can ever dream of.
Mostly......... it's easier on the eye...

Besides, one can change it back anytime.

I strongly suggest, if were taking this suggestion, to make it default with an update to avoid confusions between users.
