Launch Rhythmbox using a Keyboard shorcut

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 482 / 2 Years ago, mon, september 5, 2022, 6:02:24

I use Rhythmbox all the time in my Ubuntu. Is it possible to have a custom shortcut like Ctrl+R in Ubuntu, which can launch the Rhythmbox window, even if it is playing in the background ? Since, the emphasis of Linux OS flavors is to use keyboards as much as possible instead of mouse, i thought this functionality might tremendously help me in my Ubuntu environment.

The Keyboard shortcuts sections asks for a command; So, I'm not able to figure out how to give a custom keyboard shortcut to a program like Rhythmbox. I'm using 12.04 if that helps. Thanks.

Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and click "Add"
As name type something you like, as command type "rhythmbox" and hit "Apply"
Then click on the right side of the new command where you can set the key combination and press Ctrl + R (or whatever shortcut suits you)
