This seems to be a point I find myself arguing more often than I'd
like, so I'd like to bring up some discussion of it here so that maybe
some more abstracted decisions can be made (both for moving forward
and for revising some existing targets).
In my opinion it's very important that certain
I agree,
however, I think it should be a higher priority to have the button do
what it says, which is exactly the reason the REC button does nothing
on most targets yet.
Most users would have one rockbox target, so why do they care if the
buttons are no consistant with a different target?

I assume you're talking about the Power/Menu button on the Sansa. It
has two labels, Power, and Menu. I suggest we use it as the Power
button is used on other targets, because there's also a second Menu
button on the Sansa that serves the purpose of the Menu button on
other targets perfectly
I think a very, very minor inconvenience (as I think this is) is not a
high cost for actual consistency of the interface. I find it much,
much easier to operate the device with just my thumb now relative to
how it was before, and I think a right-handed person will find it only
very very slightly

My brother recently got a Sansa and I put Rockbox on it for him this weekend.
There are some different things that I find inconsistent with other
targets, but it is not a bad choice of use for the buttons. I expected
the context menu on a long press of Select, too. But the Sansa has a
second menu
