Rockbox 2.3 Keymap Assignments

Introduction

The Ondio has only 6 buttons, where the Recorder models have 10. The Rockbox feature set is nevertheless practically the same, so obviously things get tight. For the Ondio adaptation, several functions are now assigned to less intuitive keys/combos/long presses.

General Concept

To get a 2nd level, we exploit long presses more than Rockbox used to. Combos have been mostly avoided, wherever possible. Since the function keys are missing, the menu is now called (from the browser) by a long press of the Mode key. The quick menus on F2/F3 are gone, but the same settings have always been accessible by the main menu, too. Since no Play key is available, Right has to do the job for menu and file selection, but this has been possible on recorders before, too. A short press of Mode toggles between browser and WPS, like On did for the recorders. See below for the full tables, reflecting the Rockbox v2.3 release:
