Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root

<< < (45/45)

Mikerman:
Am just getting up to speed with the new root menu; need to play with it some more.

One thing I noted and that I've seen some comment on is that there are certain keys that seem to remain unused on the H-1xx players, that could be taken advantage of for shortcuts and the like.  (I guess this player is blessed with numerous keys.)  For example, a long press of the REC button (long needing an assignment); a long press of the A-B button from the root menu; a short press of the A-B button from the root menu when nothing is playing (or, when it is, this key assignment potentially could be reassigned, as it duplicates a press of the PLAY button); a long press of the PLAY button.

Some "naturals" might be for a long press of the REC button to be used as a shortcut for the recording screen (or for A-B looping? or a long press of PLAY could be used for that), and for a long press of A-B to get to settings (which often seems helpful to get to).  

Now please don't scream, and although I've been using PLAY to get back to the WPS screen, I still miss left-to-WPS--it's just so easy to use (although I understand the issue for people with vision issues and a possible mistaken extra press) . . .

Of course, having said all this and while I would like to see shortcuts committed if that were possible, to take full advantage of the "extra keys," I commend the devs for the root menu!

I think most of us agree a long press of Record should go to the Record screen.

You should play with A-B a little more though. It doesn't reproduce the play button. It invokes and banishes the root menu. Which means it can seem very, very much like it's duplicating the play button if you only ever use A-B from the WPS, and then a second time. But try going to the filetree, hitting A-B to call up the root menu, and hitting it again. Do this while music's playing if you'd like, or not, it shouldn't matter. You should end up back in the filetree.

A-B is basically "Root menu On/Off" while Play is "Resume playback if necessary, then go to the WPS". There is a small amount of overlap, but the majority of their functionality is independent.
