I'd like to be able to just hold the shutter down with Magic Lantern in continuous mode. This is especially useful for astro-photography since it displays the last shot on the screen, and takes pictures as fast as possible.

I have tried using the intervalometer in continuous mode set to "like crazy" speed. It works, but I can't stop the intervalometer without taking the battery out (EOS-M). Unfortunately, you lose all the pictures if you do this in continuous mode without letting up the shutter.

I was able to get the intervalometer to stop on one occasion, after pressing buttons for awhile (like crazy). The result was this time lapse of a meteor shower:

However, the next time I tried it, I couldn't get it to stop and had to pull the battery out. I ended up losing several hundred shots of Comet Lovejoy

For now, I've been holding the shutter down with a small bar clamp, which does what I want at least. But it would be so much better to hold the shutter down in software.

I notice that there is a "sticky half shutter" feature. Would it be possible to add a "sticky shutter" for continuous mode?
