Short vs. Long Down press (recent change in behavior)

(1/1)

eugenkss:
Before 2023-05-24, a short Down press in WPS executed a configurable Hotkey, and a long Down press opened the Playlist.

The "Hotkey" could  (and still can) be configured to not do anything at all.
I found this very convenient, that by Short Down pressing I could simply activate the display (i.e. to have a look at the time, etc) and reset the Sleep Timer, without any other effect (i.e. the player stayed on the WPS).

Now since 2023-05-25, with commit https://git.rockbox.org/cgit/rockbox.git/commit/?id=f2a5b78b51 the Short Down and Long Down functions were swapped.
I am very much used to the old behavior and find it very distracting and inconvenient that now a Long Down press is required to simply activate the display and/or reset the Sleep Timer.

Of course, I understand, everybody has different expectations and use cases. "Each to his own" :-)

Any chance this at least could be made a configurable setting, which of the two (Short vs. Long Down press) executes the Hotkey and which one opens the Playlist, please?

bahus:
Original mapping was broken and long press didn't work properly (it triggered short press action too).

You can easily swap actions using keyremap plugin. I attached file to use (Hotkey on Short Down press and Playlist on Long Down press)
Open Plugins -> Applications -> keyremap
Select Import Text Keymap -> select attached SwapWpsDownActions.txt
Select Set Core Remap

Great, works like a charm.
