<p class="p">Using the global_key extension you can define a keyboard shortcut for switching within
a list of favourited radio stations. Per default it uses your bookmarks list, but it can be
configured to alternate in any other channel.</p>
<p class="p">This is useful if you don't want to keep streamtuner2 atop your
desktop all the time, but still want to switch radios easily.</p>
<p class="p">Go into settings <span class="key"><kbd>F12</kbd></span> for plugins to define a keyboard shortcut:</p>
