Feature request: Right arrow to enter submenu #29

Open xopr opened 2 years ago

xopr commented 2 years ago

Menu forward and backward navigation by using right arrow key. Similar as in Phonebook and View contact, it would be handy to thumb navigate using up/down for item selection, and (left/)right for (leaving/)entering a submenu. Maybe even in every case except where the left/right keys are in use (textbox navigation and in-app use)

This would at least be very handy in the action=GUI_ACTION_SUBMENU Maybe left arrow could be used as well to navigate back.

I might circle back to this improvement if I can figure out some details.

The arrow pad has a center button which can be used to enter menu items.

As long as left/right aren't already in use for something else inside other menus, using them for forward/back makes sense to me.

Yes, agreed: this feature might be considered "with care": I assume everything that is not a submenu will break if this would be implemented too rigorously (not sure if it is even possible to differentiate).

I just noticed that my habit was to navigate "right" to jump into a submenu (currently, I prefer using the left softkey to make sure I don't accidentally press an arrow key when selecting a menu item (I probably have clumsy fingers; see my quick fix subnote in #28 :)

It might take a week for me to look into this so if anyone wants to look into it: I won't feel caught up.
