Yep... mapped all of BTN_A thru BTN_Z to A...Z respectively...
EXCEPT...
However, since BTN_P was assigned to BTN_PAUSE I have not yet assigned anything to be a P. Not sure what you're doing with your indexing (or what tricks are inside the skin I use) but are you perhaps suggesting that assigning any other control to be a P on the right-hand side of the equation will 'complete" the alphabetic set and allow it to function?
i.e. the first non-assigned alphabetic button is assumed to be the "end" of some letter array required for cabinet input?

Ah... I see the "problem"...
I predominatly run the skin cd6-1-ws since my collection is mainly grouped into "albums" by artist (I set the Album name to be the artist name) and I want to cram 6 "albums" onto my 1920x1200 widescreen.
However I also have next/prev skins set up so that I can flick to 2 other "old world" jukebox skins if the mood takes me. So in jukebox.ini I have:
Skin1-cd6-1-ws
Skin2=wurly
Skin3=OrangeBox
If I shift to Skin3 then the paging is correct (although I still don't like the fact that it doesn't go to the first page that contains an artist starting with that letter which may usually be one page back from where it does go - the first page that STARTS with that artist's letter)
Knowing that now I altered the order to be:
Skin1=wurly
Skin2=OrangeBox
Skin3-cd6-1-ws
(since it appears to use the last skin to generate the pointers in jukebox.db/iwx etc.) and all is okay for the skin I predominantly use after the jukebox updates itself upon execution.... of course that means that I must skip to that skin upon startup each time.
I guess I'll have to use skins of the same "paging type" (the other two are titlestrip interfaces more attuned to "singles" jukeboxes) if I want it to work okay across all skins or possibly have multiple instances of wincab/databases and forgo the skin switching inside the program.
For this weekend's poker match I'll just go back to using the single skin of my choice in jukebox.ini and remove Skin2 and Skin3.

No, something's wrong there. It shouldn't even look at any skin other than the current one.
I discovered a serious bug in the alpha jump last night while trying to troubleshoot this.. if you skip to a letter past any letter of artist that you have, the jukebox will lock up, and if you have debug logging on it'll just grow the debug file rapidly until it's killed.

Whoah... well I guess I was spared that since I have an artists for each letter... even though X doesn't get a full page to itself and doesn't lay on the right boundary, it still jumps to the Y page one past where I beleive it should rightly go. So the cd6-1-ws seemed to work as planned.
Skin-flipping to the "wurly" shot the alpha jump down in flames since it relies on letters A thru J (I think) being used for the interface.
From my memory of last night, further skin-flipping to the "OrangeBox" skin had alpha jumps A through G (I think) work alright. H through S(?) all strangely went to the same place.... somewhere towards the end of the G section (i.e. not anywhere near a letter boundary) yet T through Z seemed to function okay again to their appropriate places.
Throw any tests you'd like me to do at me Chris (or any files/logs you'd like me to supply) and any new beta versions you want me to test.

I have a pure numeric version of Wurly I will be posting soon. I'll fix the "one page too far" bug when I fix the other issue tonight.
