MIDI Integration or Improved Shortcut Functionality

[tec7]

Suggest a couple of enhancements that would greatly improve the usability of your software.

1. MIDI Integration: It would be highly beneficial to have an option for MIDI control, allowing users to manage schedules or select tracks for playlists via MIDI commands. This feature would be particularly useful when integrated with devices such as Stream Deck and Bitfocus Companion.

2. Enhanced Shortcut Functionality: While the current shortcut options are helpful, they only function when the program is open and active. It would be advantageous if these shortcuts could operate even when the software is running in the background. Additionally, providing users the option to customize their own shortcuts would greatly enhance flexibility and efficiency.

Thank you for considering these suggestions. I believe they would significantly enhance the user experience and expand the functionality of your software.

This has been sitting on our to-do list for some time. In one of the updates this should be added I guess. AFAIK the thing that's delaying it is lack of common protocols to handle MIDI keys.

This is also planned for one of the upcoming updates. The global hot keys will be different as e.g. we can't make simply pressing the "S" anywhere in the system to stop playlist in RadioBOSS.
