[FR] add custom keybinds to effects

Open Caliel666 opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

being able to set up keybinds to quick bypass effects would be nice, specially to use on macros and other software

Do you mean being being to set a custom shortcut to the bypass function? I would have to take a look at how gtk4 is handling this. This is something I never tried to do.

Yes, more specifically i want to bypass effects like reverb in just a press of a button without having to open the program (it's running in the background) and without clicking anything

In that case the usual keybinding won't work because they need the window to be opened. What you want has to be done through scripts that access our database through the GSettings API. Take a look at https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/discussions/916. The instructions are for PulseEffects but the same idea is valid for EasyEffects.

And in the foreground.

Is there an option to enable a preset from the gsettings api?

No. But there is a command line option that allows a preset to be loaded. You can see the option executing easyeffects -h.
