I also don't see a reason why "exiting plugins" and "stop playback" should be on the same button. And i don't know if the argument that changing a button map is bad because users are used to the way it was is a good agrument because that would mean we shouldn't ever change keymaps. The keymap was changed on e200 in r15461 with this commit message "FS#7232 - Fix some inconsistencies within the Sansa keymap. Makes it easier to use with one thumb, a little more symmetrical for lefties, and a little more consistent both within the scope of the e200 target and cross-target. Manual should be updated with the changes." that commit also moved the context menu to long select. home versus play pause shouldn't matter specifically to lefties afaict, i ca use all the buttons fine with my left hand except the power switch which is rather awkward. as for consistency that depends on what you want to be consistent with. I agree that consistency within the targets' keymap is the most important but i don't think this change makes it less consistent. And last, if keeping it on long home is very important to some people, would it be ok with you to add a stop action to long play/pause anyway? thanks for commenting people :) Nils Received on 2010-08-16 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
