Maybe I should try and describe what I'm trying to achieve:
For all cap commands (eg. cap deploy, cap myns:launch_instance, etc) I want to first prompt the user for a key, and then have access to that key in all subsequent tasks that are called from the cap command. However, I only want to prompt for the key once, not before each task (which is happening if I use an on :before method) Does that make sense?
