[ADVICE NEEDED] DMTF alpha keys order changes.

Hi all,

Modifying some code, I found the DTMF alpha keys have a strange mapping.

Currently it is mapped like this:
A:<LEFT> B:<RIGHT> C:<UP> D:<DOWN>

So, I think a more logical mapping can be defined as the following:
1) A:<LEFT> B:<UP> C:<DOWN> D:<RIGHT>

or, circular one:
2) A:<LEFT> B:<UP> C:<RIGHT> D:<DOWN>


Do you have any opinion ?

Cheers.

I would prefer new option 1). And yes it makes sense to change it from the current mapping which is not intuitive.

1) A:<LEFT> B:<UP> C:<DOWN> D:<RIGHT> seems good for me too...

Hi,

Since 100% of the two answers I got was for #1, the code has been updated accordingly ;)

Cheers.
