Menu button no longer working

(1/2) > >>

SoulSkorpion:
With the last three Rockbox builds I've tried, the menu button on my Sansa e280 no longer behaves as it did but instead does exactly the same thing as the power button.

I've observed this when using the database, where pressing the menu button used to give me a menu of whether to insert, queue or play the selection (and so on) but now jumps me back to the main menu.

This is absolutely crippling, and I'm about to report it as a bug but I thought I'd check that there isn't some other explanation that I haven't thought of.

I first observed this problem in r15751. I've since tried r15871 and r15909 but neither have corrected it. r15627 was the last working one I've used.

I'll try the latest build (I haven't yet, because I didn't see any mention of this in the changelogs) and if it doesn't work I'll try reverting to r15627 in the meantime, and to confirm that version does work.

There was a keymap change a while ago.  Before we go any further, please check the manual to make sure you know what the buttons are supposed to do, and check whether they do that and the change has surprised you, or if there is another issue.

Llorean:
Read the MANUAL

Power and Menu do not do the same thing (one stops playback, the other does not, just leaves the WPS).

The feature that used to be on the "Down" was "Context Menu" and this has moved. The manual explains what the buttons do.

DO NOT REPORT A BUG ON BUTTONS UNLESS THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING OTHER THAN WHAT THE MANUAL SAYS THEY DO. READ THE MANUAL.

SoulSkorpion:
Thanks. I've just read the manual, and the keys have indeed changed to how it describes.

What was the reason for changing the keys? What does the new mapping allow that the old didn't?

Looking in the Announcements forum, you'd notice a discussion thread.
