Here's one non-annoying proposed application of long-press on the HP Prime that would be nice in a future firmware version. Currently, to get help on any menu item, you have to navigate to it using the cursor keys. But it would be cool if instead, long-pressing any menu item would only select it, without executing it, so that you could then press Help. This has already been implemented in the Application Library; you can see the help screen for an app, without actually launching that app, by long-pressing its icon and then pressing Help. Very handy.
