Because the OSD menu is so many less keypresses?? I'd like to be able to do it
in a single press if possible, because I's like to toggle it on and off every 30
seconds or so. I have proposed a way of acheiving this without adding any
additional keys. If anyone agrees it's valid, I'll have a go at producing a patch.
