[Sansa Clip+] A better shortcut to return to WPS
mfe555:
Personally I think the WPS is more attractive than returning to where you've been, so how about:
"left" from main menu -> (nothing)
"long left" from main menu -> back to where you've been
"home" from main menu -> WPS
JdGordon:
The problem with that is that is can become confusing.
HOME is just about all screens brings you back to the main menu. On just about all targets the button that does that gets you back to where you were when you press it again.
Llorean:
Currently the "Home" button does the same thing in every screen except the 'home' screen. This makes a lot of sense. You'd be changing it so that the 'Home' button takes you to the main menu (or 'home screen') from the WPS, but the WPS from any other screen. Or would the "Home" button do nothing in the WPS since it now doesn't take you to the 'home' of the firmware?
As I said earlier, the current button mapping mirrors that of almost every other device with a menu or home button. While this device could warrant a special case, why don't we discuss why it should? What you've just suggested just now is basically what was originally suggested, and doesn't change anything about why it might be objected to. The problem isn't "how will we get to the menu and back" but "why should it disrupt the existing general keymap?"
You still didn't answer my question as to why the two buttons present such a problem. If it's a real problem during use, there's much more to consider than if it's just a "Personally, I prefer it this way" issue. Which is why I keep asking for use cases where it's important, to find out if there are ones where it really is quite difficult to work around the issue.
Consequently, "Long left" in the menus is handy because holding it repeats "left" over and over until you get to the 'top' menu. Otherwise it scrolls text left/right if you've enabled that function. So long left also already has a use. Left "not doing anything" and Long left doing left over and over are more or less a usability combination already.

Set the start screen to "resume playback". Now you have a zero-button control for resuming playback after the player has been turned off. :)

I know about the start screen setting but I do want the player to start the playback automatically every time after turning on. In addition often I listen to radio. Anyway thanks for your tips.
