Feature Request: key shortcut for Jump to next/previous letter #26

Closed almaesdi closed 8 years ago

almaesdi commented 8 years ago

Hello

ES it a very great project, i use it on my raspberry. But compared with other front ends (like attract mode or maximus arcade) dont have key shorcuts to jump to next letter in the rom list. I know exist in the menu a "jump to letter" option, but i have disabled my menus, i dont like any person can edit my configurations. So is most useful a button mapped with this option and jump automatically to the next/previous letter from where i am.

Its possible make this function and map them in the L/R Triggers?

I can try to do this, but i need help, like which files i need to edit. I was thinking copy and adapt the GuiFastSelect code and map them to key event.

Thanks

Currently, the shoulders and triggers are mapped to the same keys (pg up and pg down) This is done in the normal ES, and the RetroPie setup scripts (see here). I also feel that skipping ten items on the list is a very comparable functionality to skipping to the next letter. But then again, I am not a typical game-hoarder, so your milage may vary...

If you are using the Kids-mode UI branch, why are you worrying about others touching your configurations?
