Controller shortcut to jump down the game lists by letter or page?

codinghorror

@Riverstorm oh nice. I am not sure I have those buttons mapped, let me check!

Yeah, you can use L and R to page up/down on emulationstation.
This is a emulationstation feature, nothing to do with libretro cores.

Thanks Meleu for clarifying I wasn't sure but I knew I use the left and right shoulder to navigate the games and the z and x (MAME defaults on the keyboard). :)

Hey @buzz shouldn't this shortcut show at the bottom of the Emulation Station UI (along with select, start, a, etc) so people can discover the page up / page down = L bumper / R bumper shortcut a little easier?

That'd be awesome!!

Probably, but it's no secret I have been avoiding doing ES improvements - apart from core stuff / important bug fixes (as I don't want to maintain it, and the more I do on it, the more people ask for new things :-) )

There is a shortage of space there also (depending on resolution).

@BuZz can you link to the repo maybe I can make the change

I don't think there is space on lower resolutions to include the page up /page down at the bottom however (My dev pi has a 800x600 display connected). But if you can squeeze it in, please do.

@codinghorror maybe you like to talk with these guys:

@meleu eww, C++. Ugh.

I know this is an old thread but is this functionality still active. Nothing happens in my recent installation of ES when pressing shoulder buttons.
