Decide for cue right click

[Daniel Schürmann]

Since we are about to remove the Cue mode "simple", we can optimize the default button connections.

Currently we have
Left CUE -> cue_default Behaviour defined by cue Mode
Right CUE -> cue_gotoandstop
Left Play -> play (Play/Pause)
Right Play -> cue_set

For me the cue control is well defined now using Left clicks. So we are free to define new crasy stuff for the right clicks :-)

I like Uwes Ideas, introduced in
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/77

Left CUE -> cue_default
Right CUE -> set the cue point (while playing) / clear the cue point (while not playing)
Left Play -> play (Play/Pause)
Right Play -> cue_set
Left Play -> stutter play

For me it would be find to extend CO cue_set with a toggle feature.
Any other cool ideas for Right Cue?

This bug should be considered before 1.12

[jus (jus)]

Any progress? At least we should make it even in all 3 skins.

Current state:

Latenight & Shade
==============
left: cue_default
right: cue_gotoandstop

Deere
=====
left: cue_default
right: none

OK, all 3 resizable skins now have
left: cue_default (subject of this bug)
right: cue_gotoandstop

[jus (jus)]

Blah, reopened because this bug is about adding a new right click behavior.

Freeing myself from this bug and mark as wishlist, since the current behavior includes the new cue_default left-click for 1.12, while preserving the traditional pre1.12 for right-click.

I don't like the idea to have an additional preference option for the cue right click.
It is fine for me to keep "cue_gotoandstop", however this can be achieved without a right click and might be redundant.
It is the same as left click in the Denon and Numark mode.
In Mixxx and Pioneer mode it is on the left click while playing.
When stops cue moved the cue-point so you need to play to go back to cue.

The idea:
"Right CUE -> set the cue point (while playing) / clear the cue point (while not playing)"
might be redundant as well, because you can already set the cue by the play button and there is IMHO no use case for clearing the cue.

@jus: should we just keep "cue_gotoandstop"? Any other idea?

[Daniel Schürmann (daschuer)]

This is a valid request for the right click cue: Latch to play mode.

We probably need engine support for it, since cue_gotoandstop is a nice function after seeking.

So we may add a cue_default_right CO for
* While previewing: Latching play
* While seeking: cue_gotoandstop (pause)
* While playing; ?? cue_set (since cue_gotoandstop) in on the left click in this state)

What do you think?
