Ctrl + A

J_Darnley · 30th April 2004, 17:51

I'm sure many of you guys here know that CTRL + A is the standard windows "Select All" hotkey command. But it is also the Winamp "Always On Top" hotkey command. This represents a problem when you select all the items in a winamp list, it causes winamp to stay on top when you try and bring up another window such as explorer. I suggest changing or removing the "CTRL + A" hotkey command for "Always On Top" as I find it easier and confusing to just to "Right Click -> Options -> Always on top".

You're right J_Darnley. I totally agree and do not understand this choice.

It works fine for me. You just have to make sure your focus is on the list you want to select.

I am unable to reproduce the bug. Ctrl+A does not toggle 'Always on top' when the Playlist or Media Library is in focus. Tested with classic and modern skins.

Quote:

From the Shortcut key list (via the 'Keyboard shortcuts' tab in the About Box)

Ctrl+A Toggle Always on Top (N/A in playlist editor and media library)
Ctrl+Alt+A Toggle always on top (playlist editor)

[edit]Knacker got there before me. Good Job

Ok I see that. I must have not been focused on the playlist when I pressed it, but I must say it seems just as peculiar because there are the two hotkeys for the same command. I now know why it was causing it and I will be more careful in future so make sure I am focused on the playlist/ML. I still think it would be better to make CTRL + ALT + A to be the hotkey for all windows in winamp.

Thanks for your time.
