so, how about a function to get into the scanner, and a function to  
"jump back"?
I don't mind editing the plugin (although at this point, it will be  
for 7.0 version)

Now, this is a bit of a compromise, as you will still have to use a  
button to get out of the scanner mode.  The original use of the  
plugin was for finding a specific point in a song, allowing you  
multiple moves since you were basically 'stuck' in that mode until  
you browse away.  I don't want to assume completion, although there  
is one open bug report (rather hard to find one at that) that  
suggests using the scanner plugin as a replacement for FWD/REW.  
However, nothing came of it thus far.

One possible option is that if I can think of a way to detect how you  
got into the plugin, then I can change how you leave.  For example,  
if you navigate there then it stays.  If you jumped using a button,  
then it doesn't.  Probably the easiest way is to create specific  
functions, rather than using the menu_PLUGIN.

Does that sound less painful?
