You can also use KeyTouch <http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/>. I could never get the GNOME key bindings to work exactly the way I wanted them to. Keytouch comes with plugins for quite a few applications including Rhythmbox. Combine KeyTouch with rhythmbox-client and some shell scripting and you can probably do just about anything you wanted. For example, I like to be able to press a key to see the Track, Artist, Album info for the song currently playing. I used to use xosd with rhythmbox-client in a shell script to pull out the info I wanted and display it. I forget why but I know use '/usr/bin/rhythmbox-client --notify' configured by KeyTouch. I imagine some combination of Keytouch, rhythmbox-client --print-playing[-format] and a shell script and you can probably get the track info copied to the clipboard. (Or even better, patch rhythmbox-client so that functionality is a standard feature!) -- Jason Bodnar [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.shakabuku.org _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
