It's not only the time, it's chance of errors too.
Especially seldom used keys. (See "off"-key).
But, ok, there are bigger problems than this if not a simple
"copy"  would be sufficient.

Tried already at least 3 times.

I don't think the behavior change when i try the fourth ;-)

But if there should be the question to press "Off"...

That's a new "must have" option like "REMOTE=LIRC"?

Yes. I only want to control the teaching path...

I only want 1 key/function : "press down to abort KEYB teach"
(or vice versa).

But it asked me to press a key when i want to "continue"
inside the teachin menu.

Hm...

Convience? ;-)

To do that someone have to 
go to the 
unix-shell (how without network and keyboard?),
delete the file, 
kill vdr and
restart vdr
