Yes, currently. Resetting the target mode will do what you want, rather
than continue.

We can define these things various ways and I'm happy to change it to be
the way people find most intuitive and useful. You're the first person
to give me feedback on how these things should work, so I'm happy to
hear how you would like it to work.
