Paus, Shutdown and Stop are the same button, and right now you get audible feedback that you've held it down long enough to stop (by hearing the audio stop). Otherwise you'd have to guess whether you held it down enough to stop, or have possibly just paused, or end up shutting down. And you won't know until you release the key, or until you accidentally hold it down long enough to stop. </Paul> Hi, been following this with interest. From a VI accessibility point of view I agree this could be dangerous as someone without sight wouldn't have the visual reference either to know what had happened. Unless the timings were spaced very far apart, i.e. there was a major difference between a long and very long press, this could be unwieldy. Of course, you could always have an intermediate screen which asked what you wanted to do, but I guess that wouldn't be too popular as it increases the number of key presses needed to do anything. Another option is to go down the current route of the discussion, but later down the line develop such an intermediate screen which could be toggled on and off for those that wanted it. Best of both worlds there. Sorry, don't know if that's any help at all :) __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4201 (20090630) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 4201 (20090630) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com
