On re-reading the thread, my impression is that the consensus is that
this proposed hold+buttons functionality is acceptable provided there
is a setting to turn it off. I don't know if there is a consensus on
what the default for that setting should be.
I also agree - how about having a Hold type option on software hold
targets, with three options:
- lock all (the default)
- lock touchscreen
- track skip only (i.e. party mode)
Maybe we could then drop party mode as a seperate option... it is a
controls lock of sorts...

I agree that having a Hold mode where certain buttons are allowed could be
a neat feature, and I'm for it if it is disabled by default.
I want Rockbox to be as good as it can be. If allowing a few buttons in a
special hold mode improves the experience, then I'm all for it.

disable all buttons (except whatever is used to exit from Hold mode). If
some buttons are in fact still operable in this mode then I think it should
be called something other than Hold.

Does this mean the standard firmware on the Cowon D2 responds to (certain)
button presses even when the Hold switch is activated, and does the manual
still call it a Hold switch?
I'd find that surprising (but I don't have a Cowon player).
Yes, that is
