Quick Return to Info Screen?

So, you're buried deep in the Marlin sub-menus and want to get back to the top-level Info Screen.
Scroll-up, click on the top entry to go back one menu
Scroll-up, click on the top entry to go back one menu
Scroll-up, click on the top entry to go back one menu
Scroll-up, click on the top entry to go back one menu
. . . etc
Yay! Made it back to the Info Screen!

Is there a quick return to the Info Screen that I haven't found yet?
I haven't found anything in the docs

Thanks!

If you define LCD_TIMEOUT_TO_STATUS the default value 15000 then you just wait 15 seconds and it returns to the status screen

It can also depend on your type of 'screen'

The screen I'm currently using is the LCD12864 / REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER, ie: the ones plugged into EXP1 and EXP2 (and even the one used by MKS (MKS_MIN_12864 / MKS_LCD12864) and CR10_STOCKDISPLAY, etc)

// BACK menu items keep the highlight at the top
#define TURBO_BACK_MENU_ITEM

Config adv

I saw that. It just allows for easy return to the previous menu, not a jump all the way back to the Info Screen

I genuinely hope your feature request can be completed.

I rarely use the lcd screen for anything which is why I am still using my trusty reprap full graphics. At the minimum I use the lcd to test homing when flashing firmware, test movements (and speeds/velocity/jerks etc.), reset eeprom, set nozzle offset, set TMC settings, and set TMC currents. All during the testing phase and offline. Once the testing is done I just leave it on the main info screen and control the printer from repetier server.
