I think you are the one missing the point. But it's clearly not going to benefit either of us to continue. Have a nice day. And if you are one of the people who volunteer their time to developing Rockbox, thank you. Your effort is appreciated.
Llorean:
Then spell out your point clearly.
So far, you've said "Rockbox should do it because everyone else does it", had many people respond "Not as far as the stuff we own says", then made an invalid comparison with a monitor (which has two inputs and one output), since the iPod has one input, and one output for the display. A fairer comparison would be something with an integrated display, where the display does not have separate controls. For example another MP3 player. Why not take a poll of MP3 player owners here, as to what their original firmwares do.
But remember, "everything else does it" isn't a valid reason to add extra code, especially when it duplicates something that can be done by pressing a single button in nearly any screen.

It is a generalization, but that is because it is generally true.

It isn't true at all in my (and most other people who have replied's) experience. Just because you think it is doesn't make it so.
Anyway, most of your examples are irrelevent, as Llorean has pointed out above in the case of monitors.

After upgrading from an old grand daddy of archo 6GB to sansa c250, I think this is the things that bug me the most. I went back to study the the old archo and learned that there are extra 3 menu buttons that repeat press brings back to the "now playing". If one was traverse in menu or directory during playing, the press of "OFF button" will also bring the player back to "now playing"
However it seems that the the sansa c250 doesn't have enough button.. The ON/OFF/MENU button is all in one. Hence despite all menu traverse, a press of ON/OFF/MENU button will only bring one back to the menu. The repeat press of ON/OFF/MENU takes one back and forth between two last menu. It's awkward one is forced to traverse down the list again and select "now playing" to view the song title every time anyone does some menu browsing.
From reading the past post, I think there is valid point from everyone's view. If this feature can be implement, it would be very nice. However, I think there is also another possible easier solution to this problem.
Lets suppose that the player is playing some music, the user does some browsing and press the ON/OFF/MENU button to get back to the main menu. Instead of using UP/DOWN selector to go down and press "now playing" to get back to the music, it would be much easier that the user just press BACK again to get back to the "now playing" At present, the BACK button in Main Menu doesn't go anywhere because it's the main menu already.
Please give some thoughts the idea of BACK button press in main menu goes to "now playing" if there is music playing or resume the last song that the player has played.
Thanks for reading.
PS. After all these years, it's great to see rockbox is still alive and kicking. It's still the BEST! :)

I feel pretty confident in saying that this won't be implemented.
However, the c200 keymap is currently not ideal (in my opinion and some others) - see http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/8824 for a patch that changes some of it.
