I appreciate that it may add ~some~ useful access to notes, and I can see the potential, however when determining whether to add new functionality one of the most important questions we have to ask is "Does this modification make the device more difficult to use or less?" and in this case I'm afraid that it would add more questions than it would answer, and for this reason, I don't see this as being something we would likely change, at least for the time being.
Unfortunately the other limiting factor for modifying the NDLR is that the device memory is quite nearly full, and what we have left is mainly set aside as "just in case" for bug fixes.
That said, I could see making a keybed with 8 white keys and 8 black keys per octave, and maybe having some Root and Mode selection keys to change between them on the fly while keeping the White keys as "In Scale" keys and each black key would be one note above or below the next white key each direction (or something). It would be nice to have a keybed like those Keith McMillan soft keyboards...
