It used to be available in many audio applications browser and is very convenient.
Would be nice to have in Mixxxx.

FWIW the most used shortcut for this feature is CTRL+I, which is currently taken by "Enable Vinyl Control 4".
So we might find another shortcut or move the existing around (not released yet as of v1.12)

For a start, i have the shortcut working.
Any hints on how to display the Shortcut right next to the mouse-menu`s Properties item?

The Properties Action is set here:

mixxx/src/widget/wtracktableview.cpp

Line 393 in 42c61e0

m_pPropertiesAct = new QAction(tr("Properties"), this);

    m_pPropertiesAct->setShortcut(
        QKeySequence(m_pKbdConfig->getValueString(ConfigKey("[KeyboardShortcuts]", ... ),  tr("Ctrl+i"))));

IMHO this should show the short cut in the menu.

We should consider this in our new library navigation approach.

Now double-click on any WTrackProperty or WTrackText opens the Properties window.
Fixed?
