Global Hotkey for Rythmbox

Asked by FlyingMG

Hi Folks!

I am looking for a function/plugin in Rythmbox that allows me to use global hot-key to command functions from the Rythmbox to play/pause/go to next track/go to previous track independently from the application I am currently using.

As a former user of Winamp I used to press "Ctrl-Alt Inser" to play / pause the music or "Ctrl-Alt PgUp" resp. "Ctrl-Alt PgDw" to move one track forward resp. backward.

I couldn't find any similar function there...

Any hint?

you don't need to do that, just assign the key combinations you want to the existing ones. See the screenshot
