minus-squareNate Cox@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1年前This layout makes sense if you have used an old school mp3 player or similar. Volume is left and right because it’s an analog of the volume bar on the screen. Up and down is previous and next because play was controlled by a list UI so you were moving a cursor up and down between songs. It’s not how I personally would prefer it, but it’s not as outlandish as it seems.
