Dialog view with letter scrubbing
-
A dialog view with a side letter slider to quickly find items starting with a letter would be nice. Like how it works in the stock music app.
-
I believe this is possible using objc. You would have to implement a few delegates in objc. I checked (using a delegate with a custom getattr to see what calls the TableView sends to the delegate object) and the various index delegate methods are not implemented in the ui module, so we have to use obj_util.

The main point is to have it in the dialogs module for easy use.

@JonB , I am hoping one of the new ui elements @omz will make at some point is the alphabetical letter scrubber(the kicker for him is supporting locale settings 😱) . Actually, I think it's my least liked Apple iOS interface element in terms of its implementation. But it's often great to have it. And I also don't have a better idea. It would not make sense we will see it in dialogs before its apart of ui

If you are talking about the list of values down the right hand side of a tableview. I have created a uitableview implementation with objc_utils it doesn't currently implement a delegate or all of the data source protocol but might help you out if you want to implement your own.
