While getting accustomed to hardware keyboard shortcuts for actions in camera-ui2 (version from latest testing CSSU), I've come across few things, that may be bugs:

1. While recording, using on-screen button for pause and resume video does work ok. Ho ever, using "p" on keyboard for same purpose, pauses video, but using it again for resuming, result in "stuck" viewfinder (with video total time still progressing, it's recording), or, in worse cases, stuck camera-ui2. It is 100% reproduceable in my case, and don't appear, when I use on-screen button.

2. While recording video @ NightVideo mode, changing focus during recording doesn't work - by using camera button, nor f/F g/G hardware buttons. Ho ever, it *does* work, when using "0" and "1" hardware buttons (max/min focus) - I've checked that optics in camera module does move physically (to max and min, as it should). So, it doesn't seem that it is hardcoded or hardware limitation.

3. I'm sure this was mentioned here, but, can't find it ATM - while recording video, with indicator light disabled (by use of "h" hardware key), indicator light re-appear on each and every use of camera button (to adjust focus). I doesn't appear, when using manual focus.

If this is somehow out of being fixable for camera ui, maybe workaround, of adding on-screen button for auto-focus (thus avoiding using of camera button, when indicator light is turned off) would be good idea?

4. during taking photos without flash, indicator lights blink brightly for the moment. It is not possible to disable it for that mode in any way (although it's possible to turn it "on" permanently in camera mode, it doesn't prevent it from going on and "blink" in moment of taking photo. Nor does enabling it and disabling). Is there any way to get rid of it?

I think KP team is preparing something related to indicator light (a user-configurable value, to disable it permanently) - but I'm not sure if I remember correctly. That would make point 3 and 4 irrelevant. Ho ever, if including on-screen autofocus (point 3) button isn't much hassle, it could be useful anyway.
