I'm thinking of allowing it to be attached to volume control, letter position, or page number.. hmm... are there any other features that can benefit from such a change?
For that matter, if I allow a slider to be attached to anything a button can do, they just become "slide switches" which could be coolfor some skins.

Make it happen man....
I need that Alpha Slider. It takes me like 2 minutes to get through a letter and about 10 minutes to get through the various artists...
Chris:
Are you using the BTN_PREVALPHA and BTN_NEXTALPHA buttons in the meantime?
With the latest version you can simulate a slider, actually. If you use a numeric skin, you can set up a row of 27 small buttons in a row on top of a slider graphic, or just label them with "0-9", then A through Z. Map the first button to BTN_FIRSTPAGE and each of the others to BTN_A through BTN_Z. Clicking these buttons will jump you right to that letter.

I was not aware of that....
I will try it. If it works, I will post the skin here.
Thanks,

I wasn't aware of that either... whilst I haven't time at the moment to even contemplate creating a skin to incorporate these "buttons", last night I did go and set BTN_A through BTN_Z (with the exception of BTN_P because I universally have that key marked as PAUSE on my cabinet) just to see what would happen.
Interesting to note that buttons A through M (and maybe to O... I'll have another look tonight) all jump to roughly the right page but R, S, T etc. didn't seem to function at all.
This was done in a quick 5-minute test at some stupid time last night so I'll have another more in-depth crack in the next couple of days to confirm.
Modification after a little searching
Ah, I see this might have arisen before since I found the following posts.

Hmmm... Methinks I need to check the skin and think about a few things.
Chris:
Do you have the remaining alpha buttons mapped in CONTROLS.INI? They are not mapped by default.
