hi!

if someone included morse code as an input option in rockbox (like in ipodlinux's editor), i'd learn it...  ;D ;D seriously!

have a nice weekend!

First off, the forums are not the proper place for feature requests.  That is what the tracker is for.

Second, I very much doubt that someone is going to code this for you as it does not have much practical purpose being that very few people know morse code.

RotAtoR:
Morse input was included at one point by Slasheri, IIRC, but I seem to remember it got lost in some past big update. Maybe some one else knows more details.

Edit: Maybe it's still there, see section 4.1.4 of the manual.

pabouk:
The morse code input method is in Rockbox for approximately half a year. On irivers (H100s, H300s) it is activated by Play + A-B combination and it works pretty well ;) although I am not sure if it is faster than the virtual keyboard. ... I have checked the manual and actually it is wrong. The long Down combination does not work on H100s.

alfred:
my dap is an ipod... for me it's quite tiring to use the scroll wheel because very often you touch it slightly when pressing the select button and change the letter unintendedly... therefore i'd really appreciate a one-button-only input method.

as far as speed is concerend: the once was a competition between (old and experienced) morse coders and (young and experienced) sms texters, and the former won! ;)

@scorche:
sorry for asking in the wrong way!
