The whole subject of keys and keypads needs a little thought. The problem is that I need Freda to work sensibly with as many different phone form-factors as possible, so I can't assume that any particular button is present or absent on the device that Freda is running on. I think the only assumption I can safely make is "if this is a non-touch-screen phone, then it will have keys (or equivalent D-Pad control) meaning up/down/left/right/select". If I program the 'select' control to do something different than 'open menu' then I make the program unusable on a non-touch-screen phone (because there is then no way to bring up the menu). As an optional setting, it could be safe (if I could find some way to reliably detect whether the phone has a touch screen) ... but it's a complicated subject, and I really want to address it in the context of a carefully thought through re-engineering of Freda's controls.
So the short answer is "I am not going to hurry this one - i.e. it's not going in v1.1".
Thanks for using Freda,
Jim
