Hi all, any possibility to add a global hotkey function for copying/pasting the song name/ artist to any place...meaning that wouldnt even be needed to have anykind of plugins installed for spamming the songname to chat in apps like valknut.
Hope u understand me. lol

Take a look at the DCOP interface (see the Wiki), it does everything you want!

Ok i looked at the wiki. Obviously im not too smart. Anyone give me some kind of example?

Feeling stupid also;

I would love to get an example of a script which can do the thing what wegface wants.

[code:1]
#!/usr/bin/perl
#small perl script to display current track playing in amaroK

chomp ($ARTIST=`dcop amarok player artist`);
chomp ($TITLE=`dcop amarok player title`);
chomp ($ALBUM=`dcop amarok player album`);
chomp ($CTIME=`dcop amarok player currentTime`);
chomp ($TTIME=`dcop amarok player totalTime`);
chomp ($SCORE=`dcop amarok player score`);

print \"oggb4mp3 is listening to - \\\"$TITLE\\\" by $ARTIST ($ALBUM) [$SCORE]\\n\";
[/code:1]

or if you prefer bash

[code:1]
#!/bin/bash
#small bash script to display current track playing in amaroK

ARTIST=`dcop amarok player artist`;
TITLE=`dcop amarok player title`;
ALBUM=`dcop amarok player album`;
CTIME=`dcop amarok player currentTime`;
TTIME=`dcop amarok player totalTime`;
SCORE=`dcop amarok player score`;

echo \"oggb4mp3 is listening to - \\\"$TITLE\\\" by $ARTIST ($ALBUM) [$SCORE]\";
[/code:1]

Could anyone give a hint how to copy that information to the clipboard? ^^

uhm, highlight and ctrl-c or the unix middle button trick.

I meant something like a global key. [key] would copy the text to clipboard, and then you\'ll be able to paste it anywhere.

yes this is exactly wot i wanted too.
