No, I think a global "CLEAR" button to RESET all Menues everytime is more
useful. Currently the Menu button does it, but only if a menu is visible.
With the global "CLEAR" send before each macro you can always be sure to
start with no menu visible. I know this as a "TV"-button at TV-remote
controls - it brings you back to the TV picture. This is also useful
for normal use.
 Maybe we can do this with no extra key. With a reorganistion of 2 keys.
Let's the menu-button work as "back" key, and the back key as global "Clear".
Only a minor change - I think we can learn it :-) Klaus? What do you think?
