FS#9875 - [Cowon D2] Enable Track Skipping on Hold Mode

I made a little patch that enables the user to change the tracks while on hold mode by pressing the minus or plus buttons.

Personally I think this feature comes really handy when you’re on the street/bus/metro, since you don’t have to get the D2 out of your pocket, thus keeping it safe =).

Yes, it’s certainly a nice useful feature from the Cowon firmware that’s currently missing in Rockbox. There is a slight issue with this patch though, which is that it always maps HOLD+PLUS to MIDRIGHT (etc), so some unintended actions might occur when using screens other than the Now Playing screen.

A neater way to implement this might be to define two new button codes BUTTON_HOLD_PLUS and BUTTON_PLUS_MINUS, and map those to ACTION_WPS_SKIPNEXT (etc) in the WPS section of keymap-cowond2.c. Try it and see…

I can’t type tonight, clearly I meant BUTTON_HOLD_PLUS and BUTTON_HOLD_MINUS… ;-)

Here’s a patch that works in the way I suggested. It “works for me”, but I won’t commit it yet because the backlight fading behaviour doesn’t seem correct when using this function. I’ll look into it…

There are a bunch of customized configurations over at the iaudiophile forum: http://iaudiophile.net/forums/showthread.php?t=28467 That post includes patches and built binaries, I have no idea which version, though.
Plus, some configs mess around with a lot of files, not only the keymap.
Quoting from the config 5, which I use:
“When in hold mode;
pressing MINUS decreases volume by one,
pressing PLUS increases volume by one,
pressing MENU switches between Play and Pause,
holding MINUS skips back a track,
holding PLUS skips forward a track,
holding MENU advances to the next folder.” IMO the most usable and pretty close to the cowon firmware I believe.
