Use SH switch to change LS from outputting on channel 11 to output channel 8 instead when pulled

I have been trying everything I can think of to make this happen. I'd like to use the SH switch, so that when I pull it, it changes from being tilt adjustment to being tilt rate adjustment. I am using my LS (left slider) for tilting now on channel 11. What I need to happen is for when I pull the SH toggle switch toward me, the LS now outputs on channel 8.

Anyone know how I can do this?
 
In Logical Switches define:
L01 sticky SH↓ SH↓

In Inputs (I used I6, but any blank line)
I6:Tilt LS Weight(+100%)

In Mixing:
CH8 I6:Tilt Weight(+100%) Switch(L01)
CH11 I6:Tilt Weight(+100%) Switch(!L01) -note the (!), which means "when not"

The Logical Switch turns SH into a toggle. Pull once for on, Pull again for off. Repeat as desired.
So when it is Off, CH11 is controlled by LS.
When On, CH8 is controlled by LS

This bare bones example does, however, set the to be non-active channel back to its mid-point when switching to the other one. Don't know if that is OK or not in your application.
 
The problem I see with using a single slider to control a pair of things is this. Suppose you are in control mode (as opposed to rate adjustment mode), and the slider is at one end of travel. Then you flip your switch to get to rate adjustment mode and move the slider all the way the other direction. Now when you release the switch you are back to control mode but since the slider is at the other end of travel your tilt is going to jump way over.

I know this isn't what you asked, but do you have an unused trim and have you thought of using a special function to adjust a global variable which would be your "rate", like this.
