That's not quite what I've done.
You need to be in edit mode before PAGE+<step key> accesses the pages for
it.

If you consider play mode the top level, FUNC+track selects playlist edit
for the chosen track.
There are no further levels of menu below the playlist screen.
Another press of FUNC returns you to play mode, via save/back/lose.
PLAY/EDIT+track takes you to pattern edit for the current pattern on a
track.
From there, all pattern edit pages are a PAGE+step key away.
PLAY/EDIT again returns you to play mode, via save/lose/back.

What this change does is to eliminate the multiple presses of PAGE that were
needed in pattern edit.
I'll apply the same change to play mode, so all the pages there are directly
accessible.

If had more keys, I would be able to have dedicated PLAY MODE, EDIT MODE and
PLAYLIST EDIT keys.
But FUNC has another purpose in pattern edit mode, so it couldn't be used to
switch directly to playlist edit.
