mixxx control for Big Library

[Mikel Pérez]

a control is needed to assign Big Library to controllers. something like [Library],ShowBigLibrary and [Library],HideBigLibrary / [Library],ToggleBigLibrary

[Be (be.ing)]

This already exists: [Master], maximize_library

@Mikel Pérez
how did you try to map your controller?

In the MIDI Wizard you'll find the control in the 'User Interface' submenu

I think we should create an alias '[Library],maximize' so that it can be found in the 'Library' controls group in the manual, too.

[Be (be.ing)]

I like the idea of aliasing [Master], maximize_library to [Library], maximize.

This is not an "official" control. It's created by skins any may simply not exist if you select another skin.

If we want to make it "official", we should always create it and let skins connect to it instead of owning it.

(setting to 'Incomplete' so it can be found in the default bug listing)

Though this control is used in all official skins,and it's listed in the control picker menu of the MIDI Wizard. The respective action in the menu bar is inactive (greyed out) if the skin doesn't use/supply the control.

Would mappings fail if it hasn't been created, or just complain?

@ronso0 would be nice, that's where I looked for it. never would have thought it was under Master

I guess the appropriate place to create [Library],maximize is in coreservices, no? Like [Controls],touch_shift

Let's sort the controls by category to increase discoverabilty
