Media Library keyboard shortcuts

MzMusic_DE · 21st April 2003, 18:54

Hi everyone!
I just downloaded Winamp 2.91, and finally found the reason to abandon WMP: It has a media library!

The only question I have: Are there any keyboard shortcuts available, and how do I get the context menus to work without having to use the mouse?
The reason I'm asking: I'm visually impaired and use a screen reader to access Winamp and other software. And while Winamp in general is very good with keyboard shortcuts, I miss a topic about this in the keyboard shortcut listing, accessible from the About Winamp screen. Also, the menu entries don't show any shortcuts.
I could use my screen reader's mouse functions to execute right clicks on the lists and tree, but this is slower than simply hitting a single key.

So again, does anybody have a listing, or is there a listing at all, for the Media Library?

Thanks,
Marco

I haven't found any shortcuts specifically for the media library in the list included with Winamp (right click - Nullsoft Winamp - Keyboard shortcuts). I assume there aren't any. Maybe you can post it in the wishlist.

The shortcuts are there when you right click an item in the library.

Left Pane:
Play = Enter
Enqueue = Shift + Enter
Edit View = F2
Add New View = Ins
Delete View = Del

Right Pane:
Local Media, Views, bottom pane:
Play selected item(s) = Enter
Enqueue selected items = Shift + Enter
Select All = Ctrl+A
Edit item(s) information = Ctrl+E
File Info = Alt+3
Explore item folder = Ctrl+F
Remove from library = Del

I seemed to have been missing the obvious here.
