Thank you

What should be considered "idle"?
No touch? No communication from TFT to Marlin? No communication from Marlin to TFT? All together? Two of them together?
What would be the idle timeout?

[oldman4U]

I guess the user has been asking for the same function which is available in Marlin, where you can define a timeout of no user action which brings you back to the main screen. Could be a timeout like it is available for dimming today, but the big question is which windows are not affected. I could imagine that windows like mesh editing, Info and so on should be excluded, but it would be good to ask the owner of this ticket.

@oldman4U
Ok, let's discuss it a little here.

I see two "wishes" a "one touch" back to "home screen" and a "time out" that triggers it automatically, if nothing happens.

I see the "doubts" if that really make sense for every screen.

I personally would like to add the question, if the target of the "direct" return and the "time out" return should be home screen under all conditions?

I think this may should start with a "state transition diagramm" (UML).

In a first guess, I would say it should happen with the automatic backlight dimming. Alternate on a own configurable "time out".

I personally know, I regularly hate, if I leave something, as I got distracted, come back and have to go to that screen again. But some screens, definitely could autoclose if not used and go back to a screen that makes sense.

[oldman4U]

The one touch is possible today by pressing the back button a bit longer.

The function this user has been asking for is available in Marlin. It can only work as long as you are on a page which is used for navigation.

But it could be a nice little project to get used to "the system".

Hmmm...
Long press already direct returns...
A timeout triggers the backlight dimming.
=>
This should be easy
If the backlight dimming would trigger the long press "event", this would be done... Think I will try it on the weekend just for fun,

A little hint where the backlight dimming and the long press return are implemented would be nice.

But ideas how this should work would be nice.. please

[oldman4U]

I am not a developer but do the housekeeping here.

@kisslorand implemented the long press return. Maybe he has a hint where you can find it.
