<p>Hi lista :)</p>
<p>Using an <a href="https://i3wm.org/docs/userguide.html#exec">i3</a>
shortcut, I can control my jack transport from everywhere, even
when no jack application has focus :</p>
<p><tt>bindsym $mod+p exec echo play | jack_transport</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>bindsym $mod+Shift+p exec echo stop | jack_transport</tt><br>
</p>
<p>Thanks to FalkTX for the pipe trick BTW, I saw that on
linuxmusicians ; This is very cool if you have some sort of
wireless keyboard, but as you can see it's two different
keystrokes, how do I make it so <command> toggles
play/pause? Alternatively, how do I know when jack transport is
rolling, so I can hack my way into making my own toggle script? I
did my homework and read the inline --help of all the available
jack commands on my machine :</p>
<p><tt>⚡ jack_</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_alias jack_freewheel
jack_monitor_client jack_simple_client </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_bufsize jack_iodelay
jack_multiple_metro jack_simple_session_client</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_capture jack_latent_client
jack_net_master jack_test </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_capture_gui jack_load
jack_net_slave jack_thru </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_connect jack_lsp
jack_netsource jack_transport </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_control jack_metro
jack_rec jack_unload </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_cpu jack_midi_dump
jack_samplerate jack_wait </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_cpu_load jack_midi_latency_test
jack_server_control jack_zombie </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_disconnect jack_midiseq
jack_session_notify </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>jack_evmon jack_midisine
jack_showtime </tt><tt><br>
</tt></p>
But found no way to detect the transport status ; Is there a way to
know it? <br>
