I think the "rack focus" and "stack focus" triggers in the focus menu should/could to be merged since they are mutually exclusive - rack is for video, stack/bracket is for still shots.

Before I do something that only works on my 60d (the only one I have or know) I wan to better make sure: Is there a dedicated video mode (60d: last setting on dial) on all supported eos, so ml can detect if a video or lv photo mode is selected? And if so, is there an existing variable I can check?

Use is_movie_mode() - this one is portable.

What's harder is to switch from photo mode to movie mode. On some cameras works via mode remap (but not quite stable), on others (5d3, maybe 650d in future) it doesn't work at all since it's a hardware switch.

Thanks, will do. While I am not the most experienced low level hacker, maybe I can contribute to the usability because I've been using ml for ~2 years on my 60d now.

Yes, I remember you removing movie remap - waaaaaaahhhhhh :-o ... but better safe than sorry I guess.
