You are right with that statement, but since the simultaneous version is a
"two-hander" for me (left thumb f-key plus right index finger for direction
caused by the need for firm pressure on the keys), i never use this one
(beside the fact of a completely useless f3-menu). Having said this, using
the up button (in both f?-menus) could be one nice, extra, free feature.
