I think it would be nice to have a controller mapping commands to jump to playlist or crate given by index, or get current value, for example

engine.setValue(['Playlist'],'select_library'],true);
engine.setValue(['Playlist'],'select_playlist_index'],1);
engine.setValue(['Playlist'],'select_crate_index'],2);

Also, engine.getValue(['Playlist'],'selected') could return for example 'library', 'playlist_1','crate_1' or similar: needs more planning but it might be useful in scripts.

This would allow mapping a button controller to select your favorite playlists and crates directly without scrolling, and to return to the library as well. It would then be up to the user to order playlists so that these buttons make sense.

With OSC or HID it might be even possible to pass the playlist name to jump to, so maybe these might be needed as well:

engine.setValue(['Playlist'],'select_playlist_name','Chillout');

Until we get string controls this will be hard.

For now, we can provide basic ones for things there are one of:

[Playlist],sidebar_select_library [Playlist],sidebar_select_autodj [Playlist],sidebar_select_browse [Playlist],sidebar_select_analyze [Playlist],sidebar_select_itunes [Playlist],sidebar_select_rhythmbox [Playlist],sidebar_select_banshee

And we could also provide a playlist_selector, playlist_next, playlist_prev control (same for crates).

BTW for anyone looking to pick this up, go to src/library/librarycontrol.cpp that's where we keep these library controls
