Redmine Audacious - Feature #163 (Rejected): Configurable hotkeyshttp://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/1632012-08-12T06:57:11Zanonymous passwordM8R-q174a21@mailinator.com
<p>The attached patch adds configurable hotkeys to the latest git master branch. I haven't tested it as current audacious versions don't work with GTK2, but it's based on patches that worked fine.</p> Audacious - Bug #62 (Closed): Status icon should open popup menu on button-press, not button-releasehttp://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/622012-01-25T05:29:23Zanonymous passwordM8R-q174a21@mailinator.com
<p>The standard for opening popup menus with the mouse in GTK applications is to use the button-press event as the trigger rather than the button-release event. This behavior can be found in other GTK programs with status icons as well as the rest of audacious. This also allows for the right mouse button to be held and dragged to the desired option, and then released to select it, allowing for very smooth workflows for users with much familiarity. The status icon plugin should probably follow this convention.</p>
<p>To the extent of my knowledge this behavior is longstanding and is an oversight rather than a regression so I'm not sure which version should be marked.</p> Audacious - Feature #61 (Closed): Option for close buttons on tabshttp://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/612012-01-25T05:25:25Zanonymous passwordM8R-q174a21@mailinator.com
<p>It would be nice to allow users to choose whether tabs in the playlist view contain close buttons. Close buttons are useful for users that may not know that middle-clicking will close tabs, but for users with many playlists, they take up precious space that could be showing more playlists. It may also be helpful to allow more coherence with other programs on users' systems, given that many programs that make much use of tabs (firefox, opera, other browsers, as well as many file managers) allow the visibility of the close button to be determined by user preference; if a user has configured various other programs one way, having a single nonconforming program can be annoying and visually awkward.</p> Audacious - Bug #60 (Rejected): Numerous hotkeys changed/removed in 3.2http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/602012-01-25T05:08:50Zanonymous passwordM8R-q174a21@mailinator.com
<p>Upgrading to 3.2, a large number of hotkeys are changed or removed. This results in a significantly worse user experience. To be specific:</p>
<p>The following hotkeys were removed:<br />Reordering files in the playlist (previously done with alt+up and down arrow keys) no longer appears to be possible; these keys instead skip forward or back by a track.<br />Seeking in the current track with the left and right arrow keys no longer has any effect.<br />There is no longer any hotkey to open the preferences dialog, so when looking to see if perhaps hotkeys had been redone with a new preference, I was met with the inability to open the preferences dialog except by going through the file menu.</p>
<p>and the following hotkeys were changed:<br />Previous, Play, Pause, Stop, and Next via z, x, c, v, and b, respectively were changed to unintuitive combinations of ctrl or alt and symbols or arrow keys. <br />Space to pause/unpause the current playback was changed to "ctrl+,", which is much less intuitive and seems counter to behavior in most other audio players.<br />j and p for jump-to-track and jump-to-playlist were changed to ctrl+j and ctrl+p, which take longer to press since they require coordination between the two hands, or multiple fingers of the same hand.</p>
<p>These changes are mentioned at <a class="external" href="http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/98">http://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/boards/1/topics/98</a> (which seems to mirror my sentiment) but I cannot seem to identify the new purpose of typing into the main audacious window; I see no list-search box like some GTK listviews have, and my presses of regular (e.g. letter) keys seem to have no effect at all on the player. Given that the old shortcuts for these actions are in general more easily accessible than the new ones I don't understand why they have been removed or changed. An option to have the old shortcuts or to set custom shortcuts would be greatly appreciated so long-time users can once more benefit from muscle memory and familiarity with the player.</p>
