Random Modifier

[boysetsfrog]

I like this idea, i am not sure what else the random modifier would really apply to other than add or delete (even delete is a bit strange) but i don't see any problem with this. It sounds good.

'z' is actually in use though for aligning a particular line to a given spot within the screen, z- for bottom, z. for centre z for top. No idea what key to use, anything not in use is fine for now, i probably need to tidy up the keys a bit and hurry up and add some kind of mapping facility.

Aha, so it is.

Likewise I think it's only "proper" use is for adding, but I'll add it to all the commands it could theoretically modify for completeness.

I'll probably make pressing it twice in the playlist view shuffle it twice too.

I got some time to play with this last night (finally).

I think a better implementation may be as a movement, rather than a modifier, which is a little counterintuitive, but also clears up a bunch of edge cases.

ie,

15ar add 15 random songs from the current context
aG add all songs from current cursor position to the end of the current context
2dr remove 2 random songs from the playlist

This basically removes the possibility of someone asking to remove all random songs from the playlist.

The downside to doing this is that it would require pretty drastic refactoring to hang add off an ActionTable, so I may get you to have a look over a patch when I'm halfway through to check that it looks sane.
