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

I think both functions (return to WPS, resume playback) have the same importance and it is logical that they are accessible using the same button combination. I am convinced that both functions should be accessible using a "blind" (usually single-button) combination on all players if possible. Sansa Clip+ has 9 buttons so it should be possible there.

I mean the patch should work fine, and the only thing someone testing could maybe consider unexpected is that it works as "Resume playback", not just "Go to WPS", but that's actually expected.

I don't understand, isn't Home key twice good enough? That's what this whole topic is about

Yes, double press or short-long press is absolutely perfect as a "blind" (i.e. usable without looking at display) button combination.
Contrary menu is usually unusable without looking at display if you do not have other aids (like voiced menu).

Your patch will only change the gorup of people complaining. Making it configurable wont be hard to add and will make evryon happy

Oh, I just reread this correctly and I'm confused. Who is this group of people that would complain?
I don't think any clip user would complain, it's not something complainable, it isn't a feature to go to the root then go back to the menu you were, that's not useful in any sense, as you can't do anything in the root.
I'm actually against a hotkey, it should be default for players with no single-button WPS shortcut -- who would opt-out something like this anyway?
JdGordon:
not everyone has the same usage habbits as you, don't assume anything just because you like it one way.
