[Sansa Clip+] A better shortcut to return to WPS
mfe555:
Having realized of how little use the original function was, I suggest we don't make it configurabe but go for the patch you have submitted.
Flaps, can you write a friendly mail to the developers mailing list?

Unfortunately, sometimes I forget. Sometimes buttons get pressed in my pockets. Sometimes, when I reach into my pocket to do something I press the wrong buttons, and now I don't know how to get back to WPS without looking.

I just read through the whole discussion and must say, I completely agree with mattofdoom's post. That the home button gets you to the last screen is not very helpful and most of my friends are incapable of using the rockbox firmware, so that I boot the OF.
I really would like to try out the posted patch. But I think I'm not able to compile the code myself. Would there be anybody so nice and compile the patch together with the latest rockbox version? The posted one is an older firmware.
And another point was mentioned in the beginning of the discussion: The home button does nothing in radio or recording mode. This feels a little bit strange. Is this intended to be in this way?
Best Regards!
Thomas

I would say that generally the keymap on Sansa Clip just sucks in multiple regards.
The two worst screens for me are recording and FM
Any improvement in the form of a patch is more than welcome

I would love to get my hands on that too, to escape this keymap pain. RB is great but somewhat hampered by strict internal politics, which militates against cross-platform usability IMO. It is similar in some ways to the Linux kernel project, which is also cross platform. But Linux is more open to change and flourishes accordingly.
Maybe the RB GUI should be a separate project. RB devs would then be free of worry about trivial button matters on a bunch of $20 players.

This is in 3.11! Thanks to Felipe (flaps)!
