Title: Add to Playing Now
Post by: MRjr on July 23, 2017, 01:31:23 pm
A Dbl-Clk (left mouse down twice) adds to the "Playing Now" list. I cannot find a command in Custom Resources that corresponds to "add to playing now". I would like to bind another key to the "Add to Playing Now" list. Is there a way to do this?

I'm relatively certain that you are correct.  I don't think there is an MC Core Command that does "add to playing now" or replace playing now, or any other similar function.  I remember researching this a few months ago and I came up dry.

For those with the fortitude there is a way!!! If you install AutoHotKeys on the machine where MC is running the following code does just what I need. There is some setup required to get the AutoHotKeys running, particularly if the machine Controlling MC is Windows 10 but it is not terribly difficult.

^z::
MouseClick, left
MouseClick, left
Return

Now select a track or album and enter ^z. This action adds the selection now playing list. I know a dbl-clk works as well but to use it you must select the music (one lft clk) then dbl-clk the selected item. I am running the MC through a terminal emulator, TightVNC, from a windows 10 laptop with a fairly small screen. Using the ^z operation is much easier, particularly for my wife, whom I am encouraging to use the system.
