Bring back the button mapping of the OFW in iPod Video
INGRAMLI:
I have been using rockbox on my IPV for some time already, but i still find it difficult to get use to the button mapping of the current rockbox version. To be specific, that is the function key during playback. In OFW of apple, pressing menu will go to the higher level of folder>main menu. While in rockbox, to choose another song from another playlist, the centre button has to be clicked, then I<< , and centre button again to move into another folder. Are there anyway to bring back the old config in the OFW, without any programming knowledge?(Dont tell me to go back to the OFW, apart from this issue, i consider rockbox a major improvement to the OFW ;D)

We don't actually care what the OF does. Rockbox runs on many many players other than ipods, and ran on the majority of them before ipods, and consistency across platforms is (whilst not the be all and end all) important where possible.
In order to change the keymapping, you will have to set up a build environment, make a small change to one of the source files, and then compile.

where can i find instructions for doing so that can be understood by noob who got no related knowledge at all?Help appreciated :)
AlexP:
You can follow the instructions at www.rockbox.org/wiki/SimpleGuideToCompiling to get a build environment set up. Once you have done that, try compiling a normal rockbox build with no edits, to check all is well.
Then we will get onto where to edit - you will be looking in /apps/keymaps/keymap-ipod.c
Good luck :)

Why should a button labelled "Menu" not go to the menu?
