Maybe I do not understand correctly but why to define PF and macros etc ?
If (suggested) menu item AUTO SPLIT will be OFF all will be as today is.
If (suggested) menu item AUTO SPLIT will be let say 5 (or -3) then ANY 
SPLIT activation will cause +5kHz (or -3kHz) offset between TX and RX.
(TX will be at VFO-B)
Yes, this is about comfort and speed only, there is several ways how 
to set it today, this is not serious problem imho.

But maybe I missed something important and the problem and firmware 
additional suggestion is more complicated :-(
(Possible in deep explanation pls directly to my mail....I will be 
happy to understand this more complex...)

BTW macro definition for PF button is also gret idea :-)
