Open a context menu by a hardware button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The only reason I do not use pRSSreader is because I can't update one
channel at a time. 
I know, there is a context menu function, but I'd like to open the context
menu using my hardware buttons not by touching the screen.

My PDA has a hardware button programmed to open the current context menu,
many programs respond on that correctly. pRSSreader does not.

When I inside a channel, why the right button's menu does not have an item
like "Update this channel" ? It would be very useful feature.

In the summary view, navigate to the channel, press and hold the d-pad middle 
button
(or the rocker button, if you have any), the context menu pops up, select 
Update,
press again the middle button. No screen touching required.

For the next time, this belongs to the prssr-users group, not into the issue 
tracker.

What took my attention is this: My PDA has a hardware button programmed to open 
the
current context menu, many programs respond on that correctly. pRSSreader does 
not.

So I'd like to know what device you have. Because I'd like to have such the 
thing in
prssr. If you know what the hw button sends or if it is configured in the device
(how?), let me know, so I can implement it.

I'm renaming the issue.

My PDA is AT&T tilt (aka HTC TyTN II aka HTC Kaiser)
OS: Windows Mobile 6.1 CE OS 5.2.19214.1.0.4

To configure a hardware button I just go "Settings"->"Buttons" and then for a 
button
I choose "<Context Menu>" from the list below.

FYI: I mapped a button to the context menu as well (handy!  I didn't know it was
available) and I think the problem is the black magic used to do the trickier 
input
like touch scrolling.  There might be an easy fix (like mapping to handle the 
button
press event and explicitly opening the context menu when that key ID comes 
through)
but I wouldn't swear to it.

Probably, it would be much easier just to add an "Update Channel" command to the
right  menu _inside_ the channel. It would be more convenient to use the feature
without jumping to the channels list and then back. 

Also, there is a bug: When I update a single channel, all the downloaded items 
are
marked as "Read".

Do NOT mix different issues together here, please.
