Customize time to hold "play" before shutdown? (iPod 5G)
AlexP:
Put plainly, customisable keymaps aren't going to happen. However, it is very simple to change the mapping in the code then compile, and we would be happy to help you do that if
a) You want to,
b) You need help.
Llorean:
Ah, yes, there certainly is room for such a thing in the free firmware space. But, Rockbox already is a different thing, and isn't likely to pick up and change the whole direction of the project to become another thing. ;)
Basically, the people who already work on Rockbox do so because of what it is. Few, if any, of them will want to turn it into something different entirely (a stripped down, or less obviously functional firmware that requires more platform specific development time spent on user interfece while offering less actual or at least apparent functionality).
This begins to sound like a job for an entirely new project, to me. While we do want to see UI improvement (see the Summer of Code wiki page, it's one of the things we'd like to see) a variety of keymaps still makes it much harder for someone to predict usability and/or provide support.

Yeah, understood. And don't get me wrong, I like what Rockbox is very much. But it's also discouraging to hear that the little thing that bugs me most consistently about it, which prior to this conversation seemed like such an easy thing to fix, is in fact an intractable element of the software. Next you're going to tell me that the text-entry screen must remain as it is forever ;)
AlexP:
Which text entry screen? :P If you mean the virtual keyboard, you can customise that, or use morse code if you like.
They keymap issue is fairly simple for you to fix for a personal version, if you are willing to compile

I think that's what I mean. Is that what you use to rename files? How do you customize that?

Yeah, I'm willing. I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with the "stop" function...
Where's the best place to start with this?
