The Global Hotkey Plugin allows you to bind basic player features of Audacious to key combinations like Ctrl+Shift+X. You can use any key combination (that is not already grabbed by another application) that is recognized by X.Org, including multimedia keys.
Unfortunatelly the key events are not processed while playing a game (like Quake3 or OpenTTD) in fullscreen mode.
This plugin is a fork of the itouch-ctrl Plugin for Audacious thus basically replacing it.
Bind any recognized key with a combination of the modifiers Ctrl, Shift, Alt, AlrGr and Super (Windows key). You can program the following actions:
