Global Keyboard Shortcuts and Amarok Nightly (Neon)

[dlanor78]

I'm running Kubuntu 9.04 64-bit and the global keyboard shortcuts (and media keys) for Amarok 2.02. are working just fine for it. Only thing is, I also have Amarok Nightly and I like that better. Is there a way to make the amarok 2.0.2 global keyboard scheme work for amarok nightly instead?

Or could I make a new keyboard scheme somehow and import it?

you can set the global keys in the settings menu of amarok. i do not think there is import /export feature yea and the config file might not be compatible between the versions so its the prefered route to set the global keys.

I did try to use the Settings>Configure Shortcuts in amarok, but unfortunately it won't let me use my media keys on the top of my keyboard as global shortcuts. It works fine for regular shortcuts (when amarok is in the foreground), but not for global.

That's why I was hoping to make the system settings global shortcuts work with amarok nightly. It's not a big deal though. I can't really complain when using nightly builds of software

check in system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts amarok is listed there as well.

I can't believe I didn't put this in my first post, but when I talked about global shortcuts working in amarok 2.0.2 and was trying to get it to work in nightly instead I was talking about the shortcuts in system settings. Those only work for 2.0.2 and I don't see a way to make them work for nightly instead.
