Hotkeys under Linux

[bflorat]

Hi, I can not enable Hotkeys under my Ubuntu. This would be very nice =).

I also tried to send commands per parameters in shell but I found no possibility.

Until there is a library available it would be nice if you can control jajuk per parameters like jajuk pause for pausing the current track or jajuk next for the next song.

For the moment, we have only libraries for hotkeys under windows, not yet Linux but it will done once a library will be available.

From another user: I started to do some digging and I found: kdebindings-3.5.4 DCOP Documentation: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/other/dcop.html IBM paper: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-dcop/?ca=dgr-kdeml01KDEDCOP

some example in: kdebindings-3.5.4/kdejava/koala/examples/kscribble kdebindings-3.5.4/kdejava/koala/examples/simplemail kdebindings-3.5.4/kdejava/koala/test/dcop

I need to spend more time on this...

Multimedia keyboards and shell control will be possible with DBus/DCOP integration. See ticket #359, #438 and #439.

I have now described the changes that are done for D-Bus support in Jajuk, see http://jajuk.info/index.php/D-Bus#D-Bus_and_Java_Webstart

With this it is possible to use support from the desktop environment to link keys to D-Bus-commands and thus control Jajuk.

Basic support for D-Bus is available now. It allows to define hotkeys. We can not directly support hotkeys inside Jajuk, but need to rely on the operating system to allow the user to link key-presses to the corresponding D-Bus actions. The online-manual contains some examples of ways to remote-control Jajuk now.
