Keyboard Shortcuts

Another request/suggestion.

Is it/would it be possible to add keyboard shortcuts to add ratings?

I'm running a headless PC, viewing on my iPad via VNC, with a hardware number keypad connect, using AutoHotKey to rate (and skip) songs while I "work".

Depending on the length of the title/artist, the stars move slightly, which means some songs I rate 1 star, actually get rated 3 stars.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays :D

Yeah, I really want this too. You mean a global hotkey to rate the currently playing song, right? I will look into it.

I found a way to do this, but only if the player is focused. Configurable keyboard shortcuts would require a really complex UI, so I'm just going to add hardcoded keyboard shortcuts. I was thinking Ctrl + Alt + Number (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + 6 rates 3 stars, etc.). Does that work for you?

That sounds great.

I forgot about half stars, but it would still work.

I don't have Ctrl or Alt keys on my keypad, but I can soon sort that with AHK.

Thanks for this ;)

Done! Let me know if you have any trouble.

Excellent.

I probably won’t get chance to try it out til after the holiday, but I’ll let you know.

Thanks
