Add a second set of fwd/rev controls that offer more accurate setting of cue points and which are midi assignable.

I use the fast-forward and rewind buttons to scrub through the track and find cue points. This worked ok for the beginning of tracks where I was just trying to cut out a bit of silence, but whenever I wanted to be more accurate I needed to use the mouse. It would be ideal if there were a second set of buttons for finely stepping through the track (a bit like the function of a jog-wheel). This would enable the setting of very accurate cue points and streamline the process of setting cue points.

This bug is similar to Bug #⁠1209156 but on a different theme (I just c&p)

We have already a
[ChannelN] scratch2 / [ChannelN] scratch2_enable
where we can set specific play rates from 0.

Unfortunately this control is not bindable to a single pushbutton without a script. (Which is a suitable workaround for this bug)

So a slow forward control be a useful addition.

I just wander how to map this to standard DJ controller that have only one dedicated button to this.

What about introducing a button with incrementing speed if pressed long?

Instead of introducing another set of controls/buttons, simply make [back] and [fwd] work with ramping speed as proposed in lp:790737. Some other soft does this and it works very well.
