[Sansa Clip+] A better shortcut to return to WPS

So "short then long home" sounds like the best solution.

rockbox doesnt support that type of keypress generically which means it isnt going to work.
Llorean:
Perhaps it should be considered for addition then. There's several devices that depend on combos for things where a short-long would be much easier for a user to interact with.
JdGordon:
Not. A. Chance.
you really want *every* button press to be delayed while we wait and see if a double press is happening?
Llorean:
Track skip certainly isn't delayed. In most cases you can perform the action that the short press performs, then if it's followed by a long, do that instead.
So that short+long home would wake you to the home menu (or back where you came from) then immediately to the WPS because of the interaction. This is more or less how it performed in the WPS last time I used it anyway - the short press would skip to the next track, but it didn't matter because it was immediately then moving on to the next folder.
While this allows the potential for some accidents, Rockbox already has plenty of that, and it will be entirely mitigated by intelligent keymap design while allowing for as much as a 50% increase in available keymaps within certain screens.
Thinks like Short+Long up/down to do paginated scrolling, rather than having to hold one button while pressing up or down would also be quite handy, for example.
JdGordon:
then fix the keymap so long home from the main menu gets you to the wps which is exactly the same outcome
