Option for hot-key to cycle though Favorite devices

Open dartharnold opened this issue 9 years ago • 9 comments

You already have an option to allow left click on tray it would be nice if you could create a hot-key to do the same thing.

It's a real pain to do in V1, due to how the hotkeys work. They are "hard-bound" to a device, so when the hotkey fires it sets that bound device as the default.

This is very easy to do with V2, and has already been implemented.

I'll mark this as an enhancement and put it in the 2.0 bucket for tracking.

:+1: Any rough expectation of when version 2 will be released?

@dk0r

It's hard to say, this time of year is pretty busy for me. Hopefully a beta within the next month.

This would work really great for me too, since I usually only have my headphones or external speakers connected, so reducing it to a single button would be awesome. Thanks for the great work so far!

No updates for a while and this is still open so can I suggest on your new issue tracker where you specificaly ask user to confirm its not a hotkey issue that you point them to this and add the information in the WIKI, anyway since this is still open I assume its a work in progress, as this is the only reason I downloaded this program I will look for alternative programs while I try this one.

UI wise it would seem a very simple change allow users to define the same hotkey multiple times, when used the app would toggle between those.

Bump CAN WE REACH 4 YEARS NOT IMPLEMENTED FEATURE?

Is version 2 with this feature coming out? At this point I may just have to code it myself.

That would make this application potentially relevant again. Now in modern versions of Win10, it's trivial to switch between audio devices. So making a hotkey for it would help a lot I guess (not something I'd use). I've since moved on.

At this point I may just have to code it myself.

Actually, with the help of AutoHotkey + nircmd, this is probably very feasible. See here for someone who's already done similar: https://obrienlabs.net/use-autohotkey-toggle-default-playback-sound-device/

It's hacky since you have to hardcode your devices, but... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
