Hi there,

I recently acquiered a Rockbox capable Player (Sansa E280) which
works pretty well. Unfortunately the generic Rockbox settings are not
that perfect for Openstreetmap (http://www.openstreetmap.org/) use.

Is there any chance to somehow "remap" the Sansa Keys?

Here is what I would need to make Rockbox the perfect Player Software
for OSM mappers.

A Mapper is usually cruising around by bike while mapping streets.
Metadata (Street-Names etc.) has to be acquired using something else
than a GPS device. Notepad and pencil or dictating machines are used
for this purpose (e.g. GPS-Point Number 042 = Foobar-Street).

This is where Rockbox comes to mind. I usually listen to music while
mapping Streets and now it would be perfect when I could simply press
the record button, recording speech as long as holding down the
button.

However, when the record button is released the player should
continue playing music. I wish to do this exactly that way, because
it is very unconvenient to dismount any time recording something, so
this should be a no-brainer.

Would this be possible using Rockbox and if so, where would I need to
hack the defaults?

Unfortunately the manual does not mention a key remapping feature.

Regards

Sven
