Description

As per title, the global hotkeys plugin appears to not be part of the windows build / deployment. Is this something which can be fixed? I know I can use another manager to call the CLI -- it just would be nice not to (:

History

#1 Updated by John Lindgren over 6 years ago

  • Subject changed from Global hotkeys plugin missing on windows? to Port global hotkeys plugin to Windows
  • Tracker changed from Bug to Feature

The current Global Hotkeys plugin uses calls specific to X11 -- it will not work on Windows, Mac, nor on Wayland. A new plugin would have to be written.

I have been playing with audacious recently. I will implement this, you can assign it to me.

#4 Updated by John Lindgren almost 4 years ago

A temporary solution is to use a standalone tool, such as AutoHotkey, to invoke audtool.

For example, I use the following AutoHotkey script (media_keys.ahk):

Media_Play_Pause::
Run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Audacious\bin\audtool.exe" --playback-playpause,,Hide
return
