H1: Poor functionality for the action button [RF 1]

The H1 (Firmware 3.04) has a configurable action button. Similar to various older Garmin devices.
But I only can choose from:
- Flashlight
- Siren
- Activity Control
- Mark Waypoint
- Screenshot
- None
Thats all?
Why not ..
... a "screen look/unlock"- function as in older devices (ex. the Oregon)?
... open directly an app (like Geocaching or better: one of the functions there)?
...

There are a few more on the H1i Plus:
- Camera
- Flashlight
- Siren
- Activity Controls
- Mark Waypoint
- Screenshot
- Check-In
- Voice Command
- None
Hopefully they will add more options with future updates.
Requested thus far:
- Screen On/Off
- Device Lock/Unlock
- Show/Hide Dashboard
- Open user selected Application or Page
- Open user selected Settings Page
- Status Page
- Main Menu

Even I still do not like the H1 due the current state of FW (Version 5.0.9), the added functions to the action button seems to work and are helpfull:
I like to lock the screen by pressing the action button while putting the H1 into my pocket.
