After upgrading to the new firmware, longkeypress would no longer lock screen and keys, unless I checked that option in Control Panel. If I now longpress to turn the N800 back on, I still have to go through the shortpress power switch and shortpress Enter key to reactivate screen and keys. This kinda makes the whole idea of a quick on-and-off routine moot.

So maybe it works as expected to some, it sure doesn't to me.
I'm not sure if it matters, but I have longkeypress mapped to "menu" and shortkeypress mapped to "softpoweroff", so I only have to tap the power button to go into softpoweroff mode. To get out of softpoweroff mode, though, I have to hold the power button down (but I don't hav to do the short-plus-enter-key combo).
