no way to know if ` or ~ to locked or unlocked current preset #39

I appreciate that the F1 menu says ` / ~ [un]lock current present

But there's no way to know if it's currently locked, currently unlocked, or if you pushing the button had any effect, without sitting there for like 30 seconds.

The menu really needs to also give the current status, and change when you press the key.

I just spent like 60 seconds on changing the preset. Turns out that i did get things unstuck, but i had no way of knowing without waiting 30 seconds.

And I had no way of knowing I'd accidentally locked the current preset, because the menu overlooks printing out the current status

It's truly a best UI practice to have F1 pulldown menu also give their current values of things. For this reason.

press F4 to see the name of the preset, if it's locked you'll see the the little padlock symbol in the front of the name. press F3 until you see unlimited sec to lock it for good and ctrl+insert to save this setting
