Add global shortcuts

From Grinder13 on February 23, 2010 20:53:11

Is it possible to add global shortcuts for mute, play/pause, etc. as in
Amarok? Thank you...

They were added into interface, but they don't work at the moment

Issue 60 has been merged into this issue.

At least it would be enough to add the ability to control clementine from command
shell (for examples, commands like "clementine --stop", "clementine --play", etc.)

Until issue was solved can you replace row in src/mainwindows.cpp, line 247:
#define Q_OS_LINUX
with that
#define Q_WS_X11
?

Because this global shortcuts perfectly works in the FreeBSD too.

Tested on FreeBSD 9 CURRENT with Qt 4.6.1

r350 enables global shortcuts on all X11 platforms.

No, wait, I screwed up, r351 ;-)

I would like to see abality to control clementine from shell as xapienz said - it
would be perfect to use with KDE shortcuts system :)

Command line control would probably arrive when we support DBus ( issue #29 ).

Why not to use global shortcuts handling classes from PSI-IM? They are
crossplatform, do not depend on qxt and work perfectly. Just a few lines of code.

As far as CLI was kindly added by David, all KDE users can already use

System Settings -> General -> Input Actions

to assign golbal shortcuts to clementine actions. Just look at commands list with
'clementine -h'.

clementine -h opens a new instance instead of showing som help. I used to current
trunk.

May be, this can help? http://wincode.org/программирование/кроссплатформенные-глобальные-клави/ This article in Russian.

On Mac OS X Clementine can be controlled via the multimedia keys on an Apple Keyboard
without further configuration. Snow Leopard users have to apply a workaround to
prevent iTunes from starting though (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2122639 )

Issue 330 has been merged into this issue.

I can report with r1091 that the multi media keys work out of the box on windows 7

From davidsansome on June 17, 2010 09:08:41

I think this is pretty much fixed now :)
Media keys should work by default on all platforms. On gnome we integrate with gnome-settings-daemon to use the system shortcuts. On other platforms there's now a settings dialog where you can configure the global shortcuts.

Status: Fixed

Why is this set as "Fixed?" It's not fixed. Changing the shortcuts still does nothing.

From andrisll on January 11, 2011 13:45:42

Yes, it's not completely fixed (at least in KDE). However, it is possible to set KDE custom shortcuts (see comment #11).

Don't update this long gone bug - if there's something still wrong, start a new one.

This is not fixed! ):
I used Clementine in ubuntu and it worked great there. I moved to mac os and I don't have an option to edit global shortcuts. I can use the multimedia keys that come for default, but I want to add ratings with a shortcut and I can't.
