Hello,

In fact, it could be still a bit confusing with the current keyword especially with the "mode".

I was writing something like the above, but François beat me to it.

I strongly agree with this suggestion.  start/nostart/laststate is far more intuitive and descriptive than auto and adaptive.

And much better to use a new a new keyword rather than repurposing an existing keyword.
