Hi, i have to admit that the key bindings are not intuitive, but it's hard to find a configuration which fits for everybody. Since hydrogen gets more and more complex, we may reach a point where a hydrogen-newbie has to read the manual before he knows everything about the application.. Let me comment some of the previous proposals:
- "Single-Click activates patterns" (Jason): Single click selects a pattern, this is a different action.. and i suppose the most users would be very disturbed if we change that to "activate pattern" - "separate small Play button" (Krzysztof): This would be a nice addition to our current behaviour, we should try this..
