@silentvoyager I’ve read again your post and checked your solution about pressing the middle button enough to not change the screen but before entering the menu and I think that’s not bad. You have to get used to press about 1 second and you have to press about 4 seconds to enter the menu, so you have a 3 second range, which is not bad at all.
For me now all the mentioned solutions are good enough, depending on the situation.
