hotkeys in aux player and accessibility

[drein]

Hello,
I'm trying to use Aux player, since I'm visual impaired I use NVDA.
So, I press ctrl-4 for having an additional zone, and a new RB windows open.
Here, if I press the alt key for the menu, it appears the menu of the radioboss main window... so I discovered that I can press the "+" key for creating a new playlist. Here I choose Aux.
I put a song on the new aux playlist, with ctrl-c ctrl-v and I can confirm the song is there.
But now... how can I play it?
If I press space, or p, or enter, that key is issued to the main radioboss playlist.
If I press application key for context menu, unfortunately not all item are accessible.
So really I don't know how to play a song on the other window...

You can use Tab key, this will navigate from Playlist to playback control buttons, focus the Play button and press Space, it will start playback of the selected track in AUX player.

We'll check why hot keys are not working. It should be able to start playback using Enter key.

Hello,
It doesn't seem to work.
If I am in the second window with the Aux player, I am positioned in the playlist where I put a song.
I Press tab, it says:
"Aux0 tab", so I am where I can select the playlist tab, if there is other.
Press tab another time, it says:
"Stop after playing track button".
This is a button that can be activated or not.
Another tab key, and I return in the listview with my song.

Instead, in the main windows of radioboss, I can actually reach the play buttons with the tab key, but there is no need for that since the hotkeys work.
Can you do a test and confirm this behavior for me? Or do you also have the aux player with the tab key working?
Thank you for your kindness, answering also to still a person who has still not bought the program.
Have a nice day.

Yeah, found a little solution.
When tabbing in the "stop after playing button", we must use arrow keys in order to reach player controller. So, right and left keys!
And now it works!!!!!!!
Not very intuitive, but at least this is usable.

Yes, it looks like a bug - we'll address it in the next update.

I was in the process of reporting a similar problem when the forum software suggested that this was already covered, for the most part. However, I would have never guessed that I needed to press control+4 to go to that particular work zone, based on the manual I assumed control+2 or control+3 would have worked. I would have also never stumbled on pressing the + key to get a context menu allowing me to enter the aux player and/or cart wall.
In the aux player, pressing space on the buttons will function, but pressing enter repeats the file currently playing in the main window.

Also, kudos for making carts assignable to hot keys. This is great because they could be used to extend the jingles function, or add custom commands and assign them to hot keys. However, I can't figure out how to load a file in to a cart!

The hot keys are described in the manual. Requirement to press the "+" to call the menu - it's because the tab controls have two menus, one for the tab itself, and one is for "Add" menu.

In the aux player, pressing space on the buttons will function, but pressing enter repeats the file currently playing in the main window.

Enter is a hot key for "Play" by default, can be changed in the Settings->Hot Keys menu.
