Global_key

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.

This is useful if you don't want to keep streamtuner2 atop your desktop all the time, but still want to switch radios easily.

Go into settings F12 for plugins to define a keyboard shortcut:

keyspec	corresponds to
F9	Responds to only `F9`. (too generic)
<Meta>R	often the 'Windows'-key and R
<Ctrl>N	Control and `N`
<Shift>F1	Shift and F1
<Alt>SPACE	Use Alt and `Space`. (too generic)
XF86Forward	Uses a "forward" function key. (default)

To define another channel as source, enter its module name in the according field. Also add a category separated by : colon here.

If the configured keyboard shortcut conflicts with another application, it won't work. And if you choose it too generic, you won't be able to type longer documents. Also found out: key names are case sensitive.
