for a left-to-right organized menu...
but imagine a menu organized from right-to-left.
then the intuitive way to open a child-menu was pressing cursor-left
instead of cursor-right.
therefore you have four operation modes depending on menu-orientation:
- bottom-up: CUR_UP=SELECT CUR_DOWN=BACK
- top-down: CUR_UP=BACK CUR_DOWN=SELECT
- left-rigth: CUR_RIGHT=SELECT CUR_LEFT=BACK
- right-left: CUR_RIGHT=BACK CUR_LEFT=SELECT
looks like an option the theme developer should manage (he knows the
orientation of each menu) or perhaps there is a safe calculation
possible?
but i think this feature should be (re)added. it's really a pain to
move your thumb away from the cursor cross on your remote to reach the
select/back buttons...
