While I'd guess clementine (as already discussed in another subthread) is |
| 9 |
what you're really looking for, this point hadn't been addressed yet... |
| 10 |

As I said in other subthreads, I found another solution (mpd and front- |
| 12 |
ends) for me, but I do run kde4, and AFAIK amarok has native global hotkey |
| 13 |
support there. It's simply configured in kde(4) settings, as one might |
| 14 |
expect for global kde4 desktop settings if one thinks about it, instead |
| 15 |
of in the app itself. With kde4-amarok installed, if you look in kde4 |
| 16 |
settings, common appearance and behavior, shortcuts and gestures, global |
| 17 |
keyboard shortcuts, in the kde component dropdown there should be an |
| 18 |
entry for amarok. Select it, and you should get the usual global hotkey |
| 19 |
configuration options, for amarok. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you're not using kde4 as your desktop, then as elsewhere mentioned, it |
| 22 |
should still be configurable using whatever global hotkey app's generic |
| 23 |
hotkey configuration mechanism and command-line or dbus calls. |
