no, you have it right. I was referring to a dumb statement I made a few
messages ago.
A couple more suggestions come to mind:
How about a -o (offset) option, which takes a time operand like -t, and lets
you start at the specified offset into the clip? It would, of course, only be
relevant for static clips.
A "?" command would be nice, which would display a list of all the commands.
Perhaps also an "M" (modes) command which would display a summary of the
current mode settings.
I'm toying with the idea of a "g" (goto) command which would prompt for a new
URL to switch to. Enter would initiate the actual switch, and control-C would
cancel the prompt, with both returning the display to normal. The prompt should
accept basic Emacs-like line editing, with working arrow keys. Up and down
arrow, along with their Emacs equivalents (^P and ^N, I think), could take you
back and forth through the URL history, with the currently playing URL being
the last line in the history buffer. Temporary editing of a line within the
history buffer would be supported so that it can be modified and then selected
(at which point it would be restored but the new URL, having become current,
would be appended to the buffer).
There's got to be a way of combining the above idea with a book mark
saving/browsing facility, although I haven't figured out a nice way to do it
yet. Ideally, a book mark facility, in addition to allowing browsing and
selecting, needs to let an entry also have an editable nickname, and, perhaps,
a settable starting offset and playing time.
