Not sure if this is a XBMC thing or a skin thing.
Would it be possible to number the context menu items and have the numbers on the remote access each one?
For example, if I bring up the context menu and "Manage" is "08 Manage", pressing 8 on the remote selects that item rather tahn navigating up and down and pressing select.
I think this could really speed up the context menu a lot of users.
Thanks

I kinda like the idea. Will start working on it later today. Thanks for the proposal.

While this is pretty easy for our own contextual items, any external one will screw the logic up. Will have to talk to jmarshall or someone that is more familiar with the guilib stuff. I'll keep you posted.

Would not be a problem if the external ones were added to the bottom of the list instead of the top.
Adding to the bottom makes more sense to me anyway. Now you have options that are not used frequently be higher than for example 'resume'.
As well as external buttons showing up at the top of the second (manage) context menu.

I like this idea, but from a different perspective. It might actually tie in nicely with the efforts to make XBMC more friendly for screenreaders etc.
I would not want these numbers to be forced on everyone - it should definitely be an (expert) setting.
