returning to "now playing" screen

[Llorean]

The main menu is the "top" level, not the WPS. The WPS doesn't even exist unless music is playing. Besides, once you're in the main menu, it's only a couple keypress to get to the WPS anyway.

And your whole "left to get back, right to scroll" doesn't even begin to address the other issues mentioned (problems it creates for ease of use for blind users being a very significant one) by having the ability to hold "left" get you to the WPS. Having it stop somewhere where more pressing of left won't do anything further is invaluable.

This is underestimation. Let's see how to get from deep in the menu to WPS:

Now playing/Settings/General Settings/Display/LCD settings/Contrast/28

5 lefts, up, right (7 clicks)

And the lefts can all be done very, very, very quickly since you know it will stop at the same screen every time.

I also note you're still not attempting to address the actual issues it will create.

we are still talking about the c200?
going from any depth in the menus to wps is 3 presses... power, up, right

This is great - always the same combination (can be done blindly). Thanks for the tip!

On the 2nd thought - why "power" stops at top configiration level? Why not go to WPS (if WPS is active)? OK, don't beat me too much if it's a stupid question or if you fill I'm too persistent :-) Never intendent to offend coders or others who put their effort in rockbox.

Having just tripped over a similar problem on my desk phone (and accidentally cleared a call) can I add a vote to the please DON'T make left go to WPS from the top level menu.

If left to WPS were added, when coming up the menu structure, you'd eventually go into the WPS and any extra lefts would cause a seek to the start of the current track, than go back a track, or two, or three...

I like lots of lefts (don't need to watch, know or count them), then one right into the WPS.

I like how 'play' does to WPS on the ipod. Am I being an idiot?

I like 'Play' going to the WPS on my e200 too.

I am legally blind.  I appreciate the effort by Rockbox developers to support blind users. 
Having the screen stay where I left it is important to me.  Having the option of turning this feature on/off would be ok though.
