Better hotkey detection

Thu Feb 23, 2006 11:10 pm
Hello!
Im a gnome user with a keyboard full of multimedia keys that amarok cant detect. When i use gnome-keybindings they detect the scancode of the multimedia key (e1e100, just to show you what i mean;) ) but amarok won\'t detect these keys.

What would make my day would be if amaroK improved their hotkey detection or allow standard hotkeys from gnome. Gnome has hotkeys for next track, play/pause and so on... i can of course make a script that sends DCOP commands whenever i press this and this button but hey! out-of-the-box user-friendly rite ;) hehe.

btw, i read that amaroK 1.41 would get a better keyboard interaction interface(or something) in the changelog... maybe this was what it ment? :S

This is not an amaroK thing, but KDE (or even X). There are plenty of howtos around how you can enable your multimedia key for every X application. I suggest googling for it (e.g for xmodmap).

i allready know how to enable my hotkeys... but you see gnome can detect my hotkeys and gnome has its own hotkeys for \"next track\" \"play|pause\" and so on and it would be better if i could use these for amarok. But i can\'t and amarok doesnt detect my hotkeys when i try to insert them in the \"global hotkeys\" options either... so atm im using lineak and dcop functions to use my hotkeys for amarok. It would be much better if i could simply use the gnome hotkeys or that amarok could detect mine from the \"global hotkeys\" menu...

P.S: yeah yeah, i know amaroK is not a gnome app but still ;)
