Control laptop's IFF protocol override is too tedious to use

[l29ah]

Describe the bug

Sometimes it takes hundreds of trials to pull it off, but you have to spend at least 4 keypresses per each trial.

Expected behavior

It would be nice if it could be used like a sewing kit: until success, target disappearance or battery emptiness.

Since the control laptop is broken anyway and needs to get replaced by a better implementation, this is a less pressing issue but we do need to keep it in mind for the control laptop v2.
