+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This script extend the functionality of mode button. Instead of just one
+you can trigger several actions by pressing the mode button several times.
+
+The hardware needs to have a mode button, see
+`/system/routerboard/mode-button`. Starting with RouterOS 6.47beta60 you
+can configure the reset button to act the same, see
+`/system/routerboard/reset-button`.
+
+Copy this code to terminal to check:
+
+```
+:if ([ :len [ /system/routerboard/mode-button/print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
+ :put "Mode button is supported.";
+} else={
+ :if ([ :len [ /system/routerboard/reset-button/print as-value ] ] > 0) do={
+ :put "Mode button is not supported, but reset button is.";
+ } else={
+ :put "Neither mode button nor reset button is supported.";
+ }
+}
+```
+
+Requirements and installation
+-----------------------------
+
+Just install the script:
+
+ $ScriptInstallUpdate mode-button;
+
+Then configure the mode button to run `mode-button`:
+
+ /system/routerboard/mode-button/set enabled=yes on-event="/system/script/run mode-button;";
+
+To use the reset button instead:
+
+ /system/routerboard/reset-button/set enabled=yes on-event="/system/script/run mode-button;";
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+The configuration goes to `global-config-overlay`, these are the parameters:
+
+* `ModeButton`: an array with defined actions
+* `ModeButtonLED`: led to give visual feedback, `type` must be `on` or `off`
+
+> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
+> [`global-config`](../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
+> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.
+
+Usage and invocation
+--------------------
+
+Press the mode button. 😜
