--- Quote from: Rincewind link=topic=5435.msg47351#msg47351 ---These actions are available for Rec Short, Rec Long and Play + Rec:
* None (default)
* View the current playlist
* View the Plugin Dir
* View the Themes Dir
* Recording Screen
* Go to Recording Screen and start recording instantly (not available for Rec Short)

--- End quote ---

I think the default should be Rec Long: Recording Screen, Rec Short: View current playlist
None should be available as an option, but isn't a good default imho.

Mikerman:
If I had my way, there would be an option to bring up the radio, IF no other button press (such as a long press of play) were to be adopted for that; and an option to set and play an A-B loop through a quick press of REC.  (Yes, I know that this latter proposal is duplicative to other 2-handed button combinations requiring the setting of the quick screen as well, but this offers a faster mechanism to use the A-B looping feature and there are people who would find it of good use--and by having it as an alternative, it doesn't get in people's way, if they don't want it.)  

Of course, all of the above assumes that the amount of extra code would not be seen as bloat and that these proposals would not interfere with matters otherwise.

Rincewind:
I have thought about adding the FM-Screen to my patch, too.
Your A-B suggestion really would get in my way, because I want the record button for something that isn't currently there. Anyway, I don't know if my patch ever gets commited to cvs...

if you want a single ab-button, it should be possible to do this without adding much code, because in action.h there is this line:

ACTION_WPSAB_SINGLE, /* No targets use this, but leave in just-in-case! */

So you could add this to the Hxx-keymap and there is a chance that it works...
But, no chance to have me include this in my patch  ;D

Mikerman:
Thanks, and I know that my single-key A-B suggestion gets shot down left and right, sometimes for legitimate reasons.  ;)

I only mentioned it here thinking, it doesn't hurt to include it if it's an option.  And I truly have heard from some people who would like to see it.

Just a proposal; thanks--
