Interesting.  In Mobius you can accomplish this using a script:

   !name UnroundedMultiplyReverse
   Jump NotInMultiply mode != multiply
   Record
   Reverse
   Label NotInMultiply
   end

Among other things, scripts give you the ability to execute a sequence
of functions at exactly the same time, something that would be
very difficult dancing on a footswitch.  The Jump statement prevents
this from doing anything if you press it accidentally and aren't
in multiply mode.  The tradeoff of course is that you have to reserve
a switch to call the script, whereas with the EDP's multi-step process
you can accomplish it using existing switches.
