I always wondered why the manual-to -pedal couplers of an organ don't decouple the previous manual, ie if you are playing the Great, and you move to the Swell, you press the Swell to Pedal coupler, and as well as coupling the Swell, it decouples the Great.

Are there any organs that do this? Or have I invented something new and can expect to make a small fortune from the patent? I don't think so....................

On classical mechanic organs, a coupler does not turn off automatically. I have seen one mechanic organ, where the pedal coupler had three states (off, P/I or P/II).

Some organs feature a automatic pedal.

Yes there is something called "suitable bass" I think.
