Add 'tap' to stop for use with cover
I use the slider button cards for lots of purposes and I really enjoy it. However, sometimes I accidentally drag one of my cover buttons and the cover starts to move to the set position. The problem is, there's no way to stop de cover, other than tapping the icon and stop te cover from the more-info window.
I would love to be able to set the tap behavior of the buttons that I use for covers to perform a custom action/start a custom service, like 'cover.stop_cover'. So that would mean swiping on the button makes the cover move to the set position, but when I tap it in the meantime, the cover stops and the button will represent the current cover position.
I've been wanting a tap-action for the other entity types too, not just cover. Tap on a light entity should be a toggle, or more-info, or whatever else the user wants. I know we can already tap on the icon, but being able to tap on the slider itself would enhance usability of the card quite a bit.
I'm actually starting work on this over here: https://github.com/lizsugar/slider-button-card/tree/slider_tap_action
The goal is to make it work for all entity types for any action. You should be able to call the cover.stop_cover service using this.
It's not ready just yet, as it still triggers a tap_action even when sliding, so I would not recommend using it yet. And GUI config just isn't even there yet.
Okay, it's come a long way since then and I'm just wrapping up a weird issue where mouse click to trigger tap_action does not work when the slider is enabled - touch with a finger works just fine in that event! and both finger touch and mouse click work just fine when the slider is disabled.
Almost there! Will submit a pull request once I got that figured out.
Oh, and on my plate is to get a gui config for this as well, but I think i'm going to submit a PR before then since the current action button and icon tap_actions also do not have a super functioning gui anyway
