Yeah, I figured that out by accident and then did it two times on purpose, but frankly I'd rather just wait for focus to refresh and beat them. The occasional key is nice, as are all the pink attache cases. I'm finding it doesn't slow me down too much unless I have somewhere to be.

Edit: I missed the post about 6-focus bosses in the second half. Yes, those ones I will probably skip a lot if they appear.
