Hello

Is there a way i can have a keyboard shortcut for "next song" and "previous song" features ? (a default config for example)

I tried to set up my own config of keyboard shortcuts for these (N for next song and P for previous song) but it makes Amarok crash each time i try to use it (null pointer found).
In fact i'd like to have n and p and not N and P but it looks like striking n only is registered as capital N.
a' - (is there a way to save n instead ? )

So, N and P are saved as shortcuts but it does not work properly :
a''-i play songs , n and p makes the soft crash each time,
b-shift + n or p do not work
c-locking up capitals + P works well for previous song, but with n it makes the soft crash esach time .


Can you explain me why so or is this possible to solve this ?


THanks


i'm using the following in opensuse 11.3 :
$ amarok --version
Qt : 4.7.0
Plate-forme de développement de KDE : 4.5.2 (KDE 4.5.2)
Amarok : 2.3.2

See below what terminal console gives me when i strike n for "next song" and p for "previous song" :

Code: Select all

The capitalisation does not affect the keyboard shortcut system as far as I am aware.

No clue on this one .
But it's strange that striking n is saved as N, and only P shortcut works .

In general, I wouldn't recommend using the main A-Z 0-9 keys as shortcuts, except with a modifier such as Ctrl, Alt, or Meta. It shouldn't crash however.
