First, start Aqualung and make sure the pause and play buttons are combined. There is a check box under Settings/General to combine them.
Then adjust Gnome:
1. Open gconf-editor
2. Drill down to apps/metacity/keybinding_commands
3. Double click on an empty command and enter:
aqualung -N0 --play
That is a zero.
4. Remember your command number, then go to apps/metacity/global_keybindings
5. Find the run_command that has the same number as your command number, then double click on it.
6. Type in the key sequence that you want for pause/play. I used
<Control><Alt>p
That's it.
Update 26 May 2011: I've switched to using KDE rather than Gnome. Here's how to set up the same keyboard shortcut in KDE:
- Open the System Settings. On my installation, I click the "K", then Settings, then System Settings.
- Choose "Shortcuts and Gestures" from the Common Appearance and Behavior section.
- Select Custom Shortcuts.
- Click the Edit button (towards the bottom), then New, Global Shortcut, Command/URL.
- Enter a name for the new action, I used "Aqualung Pause/Play".
- On the Trigger tab, enter Ctrl+Alt+P by pressing those 3 buttons.
- On the Action tab, enter aqualung -N0 --play for the command.
- Click the Apply button at the bottom.
Update 28 June 2011: I've dumped KDE and am now using Xubuntu. Here's how to set up the same keyboard shortcut for XFCE:
- Open the Settings Manager. On my installation, I click the gear in the panel, then Settings, then Settings Manager.
- Choose "Keyboard".
- Select the "Applications Shortcuts" tab.
- Click the "Add" button.
- Enter aqualung -N0 --play for the command, click the "OK" button.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+p.
Update 15 Dec 2011: I'm still using Xubuntu, but somewhere along the way something changed. For step 5 above, use this for the command:
aqualung -N0 --pause
