Summary

0003661: Feature request: More configurable keyboard shortcut

Description

There are already some keyboard shortcuts, which can be found in Preferences->Multimedia keys. Many of them relate to MPD itself. Personally i already had those via `mpc` commands.

But there are keyboard shortcuts that would be useful that interact with gmpc. For instance pressing 'q' to queue the *selected* entries is faster than right-click and then clicking 'add'. And right clicking isnt always convenient with a laptop keypad either.

F1-... that select play queue etcetera could be made configurable aswel.

You could take that further and allow for arbitrary shell commands where data like currently selected stuff in gmpc/add stuff in the right-click menu.

Either way, thank you for the excellent software.

Notes
(0007615) qball (administrator) 2013-01-30 00:18	Agree keybindings can be better. p.s. Insert key should insert the selected song into the play-queue.

But the 'plain' keys dont really have anything to to, i'd put the default on 'q', tbh. I suppose that clashes with the 'just start typing to search' thing. But then, that seems a bit too context dependent. I think with choices like this you basically have to look at the whole picture, how you can get the user to be able to do everything quickly and/or 'explorably', and what other programs do. Either way, thanks for the acknowledgement.
