Subject: My take on a redefined key mapping in Rockbox
From: Daniel Stenberg (daniel_at_haxx.se)

(This is for Recorder models only)
I've bounced around this document with a bunch of guys on IRC, and I've
tweaked it and modified according to their friendly input and suggestions.
Now, I give you all my view on how we could make the keys work in Rockbox on
Recorders. Feel free to bring your opinion on this!
As you can see, there are still keys that are left unassigned in this
suggestion, but I don't consider that a bad thing! ;-)
GOALS
=====
- as much as possible with one hand
- less keys (and combos) to remember
- save ON + [key] combos for customizable "macros"
- generic: use f1 to reach menu and f3 for context-sensitive menus/stuff
FILE BROWSER
============
UP/DOWN - upwards/downwards
LEFT - go one dir level back
RIGHT - go down one dir level
PLAY - play file (if an mp3 then go WPS)
F1 - goto MENU
F2 -
F3 - context-sensive file/dir MENU (formerly known as ON+PLAY)
ON - go to WPS (if there's a song playing)
ON+UP - page up
ON+DOWN - page down
OFF
WPS
===
UP/DOWN - increase/decrease volume
LEFT - prev/rew
RIGHT - next/ffw
PLAY - pause/play
F1 - goto MENU
F2 - pitch screen
F3 - context-sensive WPS menu (CSWM):
TOGGLE keylock, TOGGLE mute, ID3 viewer
ON - go to DIR BROWSER
OFF
(To unlock the keylock => F3 = > PLAY on the first option in the list, which
then will be the only thing you can do it that menu. When the keylock is
enabled, the menu will timeout after N seconds without PLAY being pressed.)
MENU
====
UP/DOWN - upwards/downwards
LEFT - go one menu level back (DON'T exit on top-level)
RIGHT - go down one menu level
PLAY - select menu item
F1 - same as OFF
F2 -
F3 -
ON - toggle back to DIR BROWSER
OFF - exit MENU back to where you came from
RECORDING
=========
UP/DOWN -
LEFT/RIGHT - increase/decrease gain
PLAY - start recording
F1 - goto MENU
F2 -
F3 - context-sensive MENU, recorder settings
ON -
OFF - stop recording, exit recording screen
