yea, all my devices have discreet codes for power on, power off,
individual input switching, etc. so I just want to be able to hit the
button again for everything to do it's thing.
even if it didn't though, I'd still want that to occur instead of
having me have to choose another activity and then choose the one I
wanted originally. to me it's just more intuitive to hit the button
again than hit other buttons, be it "help", or another activity, etc.
i guess I come from the days of just mashing the same button over and
over until it works...
