This has been requested many times (in the same vein as being able to
jump to the next start letter...) and yes its nice, its not really
possible.... I have an idea how to do it but it wont look nearly as
good as it does in WM...
Why is it not really possible?
Even if it doesn't look as good as WM, I would say that is far outweighed by
the fact it would make navigation a lot more efficient.
What's your idea anyway? maybe if you bounce it off the list it might spark
a further idea in someone else.

To add to the beep feature discussion in WM6 when you have lots of
contacts and start scrolling through them for a few seconds you get a
large letter appear on the screen which you then scroll through the
alphabet rather than the contacts. This allows you to jump to the
contact beginning with that letter very quickly.
With speech and this feature in Rockbox it would allow much more
efficient track/dir finding in Rockbox for both sighted and non sighted
users.
So have I understood your suggestion right, what you are suggesting is
that
if a person is scrolling through a large list of files by holding down up
or
down instead of moving through the list of files they get taken to a list
of
the alphabet, from which they then select a given letter and once
selected
are jumped to the start of the section in there list of files that begins
with that letter?
I hope my message is clear.
The question is though how would you deal with numbers and non alphabet
characters with such a feature? I think this feature would have to have
some
kind of setting as well.
