Mmmm, if you consider commiting my record button configuration patch, please wait, I want to clean it up a little bit first.
Unfortunately I don't have much time now, takes possibly 2 weeks until I get round to do it.

Don't worry... it needs cleaning up a bit before it is committed ;)
I'm not sure on the general opinion (in dev world) about the use of the record button yet so I think it may take a bit of discussion there first anyway! :)
Llorean:
I think the general idea is that buttons shouldn't be configurable.
Definitely *all* buttons shouldn't be, because then you can accidentally remove the ability to configure them by changing them too far. At the very least many need to be hard-coded for specific screens.
And in my opinion having one button configurable (especially one with a suggested purpose such as Record) leads to the idea that all of them could be.
I kinda think short-record should go to the recording screen, and long-record, well, we need to come up with something.
Note: These are my personal opinions, and the only part that has come from others is that "We should not allow all buttons to be configurable"

short press of rec to go to recording screen isn't good imho, because if press it accidentally your playback stops etc.
I disagree with you that every button should be hardcoded. Of course almost all buttons have to be fixed so that rockbox can operate, but on units that have extra buttons, why not make them optional to use?
The opinions of how the rec button should be used differ so wildly that I think that everybody is happy if he can choose how he wants to use it.
I don't want to be able to change every button in rockbox on the fly, but it is nice to have a short cut that you can customize.
On your argument "if we do this, users want to have that", that applies to every feature that is added to rockbox.
I make a discussion thread with a poll, so that we can disuss the REP here again.
Shindig:
Is there a way to modify the vu meter's width? It'd be nice if dB numbers were added too, from -20 to +3, for example.
Edit: The iriver firmware has a feature that let's one do voice activated recordings. Also known as VOX, is there a way this feature could be implemented into this patch. I'd be more than happy to contribute in any way I can.
