You could configure actions such as MENU+PLAY or even, if dead keys were
supported, first MENU, then MENU again to select an item, or first MENU,
then PLAY to immediately poweroff the player without having to press PLAY
for 4 seconds, or anything else.

I don't think we can do that on the players. They only support a short press or a long press of a button.

I'm blind. I think that it might be useful, but I wish that we had a generic
and configurable system, so that it could be equally useful to sighted persons.

How would it be useful to sighted users? It would probably contain:
-A quick way to hear the time and battery level
-Spell the current file name
-volume
-create .talk clip (maybe)
-voice

So it is probably only useful to blind users.
What does everyone think?
