Adding keyboard shortcuts

[koflesinge]

Context
I use mpd on a remote server, and I alternatively command it with MyMPD or ncmpcpp.
I really like the keyboard shortcuts on ncmpcpp

Solution
Would you please consider adding keyboard shortcuts to mympd ?
I especially miss the "Tab" to switch between Browse and Queue/Playback

Ncmpcpp keyboard shortcuts

Thanks for your feature request.
There are already some keyboard shortcuts (the same as in ympd):

• https://github.com/jcorporation/myMPD/wiki/Keyboard-Shortcuts

Further shortcuts should be possible. But I think the "Tab" is not a good shortcut for a web application, because it breaks default browser behaviour.

Do you miss any other keyboard shortcuts?

[koflesinge]

Yes

• Browsing through tab (queue, playslist, library) with numbers. Like "1" for queue, "2" for playlist, ...

• What is really handy in ncmpcpp are the library shortcuts.

• "Up" and "Down" to move between items
• "Enter" to enter a sub-item (like to enter the Artist to see albums )
• "Space" to queue an item ( either Folder, Artist, Albums, Song...)
• "A" to add an item to a playlist

• Also "U" to update the mpd database

Thank you very much

The devel branch supports now navigation in all the tables with keyboard.

• n = start table navigation mode

In table navigation mode:

• n = focus next table
• p = focus previous table
• Enter = click event
• Space = popup menu
• x = add item to a playlist
• d = remove item from queue
• q = append item to queue
• Q = replace queue through item

The popup menus are now also keyboard accesible.
