One of the many neat features it has is global
shortcuts. I use this a
lot at work to transcribe radio interviews. It allows you to control
for example Rewind or the Pause function with a global key (I use
NUMPAD-0). That way you don't need to leave focus of the text editor
application to stop and rewind a missed section. This is sooo cool and
a major time saver. If someone could add this feature to alsaplayer it
would be wonderful...
what a cool idea!
wouldnt this be a windowmanager specific thing?
what wm are you using? i guess any decent wm should
be able to assign an arbitrary keyboard command to
a program. i already have a program which acts as an intermediary
between apache and alsaplayer so if i can work out
how to do this in the ion wm i'll give it a shot!
how many seconds for the rewind, 10?
cheers
