For example, after a long press on the g key, the message "STO OR RCL ?" would be displayed. Then the STO key would save the entire status of the calculator in flash memory, and the calculator could be manually switched off.
After power on, a long press on the g key followed by the RCL key would recover the last status of the calculator. Only two keystrokes, easy to remember.
I would be happy with something like that. This would also benefit existing boards.

I was going to add an addendum to my post and mention that I have been thinking of adding the functionality with a top level menu item. I've been crook with the flu for a couple of days so will get to it soon. For older versions it will be a software update to implement.
