Possibly. The idea of not supporting this would be to make it more
standardized everywhere that a quick press on OFF takes you out from where you
are. Also, we might see a future where you might go to the MAIN MENU using a
different key than F1 (from some weird screen) and then leaving the menu on F1
would make no sense at all!

I guess F1 can do the same as OFF does in the MAIN MENU for now, as we haven't
assigned anything else to F1 there.

No. In my eyes, a single key keylock defeats its purpose. It is a lot more
likely that I accidentally press that single key in my pocket or in my bag.

Keylock would be (in WPS) F3 and then PLAY, and unlocking would be the same.

I guess we could still do this, and I'll leave this out of the NEWKEYS
document as I'm sure we'll discuss this more.

Personally I more often unlocks the keys to press NEXT than to modify the
volume... ;-)
