Pressing LEFT to get to WPS from file root

Yes
--- Quote ---Sorry, but this sounds weird since most of users actually use this option because they can use joystick for all necessary navigation. There were some good points about why some ppl might not like it, so making this as an option with defaults to whatever most users want sounds reasonable to me.

Most users don't use this patch at all. Most users use the PLAY key since that is how Rockbox does it out-of-the-box.
And yes, I can understand the reasoning behind the request but I still rather have Rockbox work in one single consistant way rather than adding an option for such a tiny little border-case.
len0x:
I thought it was all about democracy and choice of ppl that is clearly indicated in the poll above. If just a couple users wanted that - it wasn't worth it indeed. I personally find a lot of options redundant in RB, but that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be there...
LinusN:
I think a consistent button scheme is important. I also think we should use the Play key for playback and not WPS toggling.
However, the iriver has such silly buttons, so we are more or less forced to use them for things that they were not labelled for. Take the A-B button for example.
I think going to the WPS when Left is pressed in the root folder is a bad thing because it is annoying to end up in the WPS when you want to go to the root and push Left one time too many. This would be even worse for blind people.
roolku:
Another reason to leave it as it is the frequency of use. I mean how often do you go from the directory tree to the WPS? I only do it if I change my mind and abort navigation. Typically I will select a new song which brings me to the WPS anyway.

I guess the NAVI key. It would basically switch today's NAVI-press and PLAY.

oohhh... i wouldn't like the NAVI-press as pause... the way NAVI-press is now is good.
this sounds like the most viable option:
