Hi Luigino!
I am not sure there are any plans to add keyboard shortcuts to Rivendell.
And although some things can be done as was explained in the link you
referenced in your last post it can be done with external programs, not
all of the of the things you mentioned wanting to do ( adding carts to a
playlist,
selecting the sound panel or the main/aux logs, erasing cars from a PL)
can be done via external Rivendel Macro Language (RML) commands.
adding carts to a playlist ---> only if you know the cart number(s) you
want to add and you want it as the next item
rmlsend PX 1 999999! will add the testtone as the next item in the
main log
selecting the sound panel or the main/aux logs
rmlsend PW 1! will select the Main Log
rmlsend PW 2! will select Aux1 log
rmlsend PW 3! will select Aux2 log
rmlsend PW 0! will select the Sound Panel
erasing carts from a PL ---> Not sure on this one, as I do not see a RML
command for it.
Using xbindkeys as mentioned in the email you reference or Gnome or KDE's
keyboard shortcut utility you can send the need RML command with a
keyboard shortcut.
Regarding the rdsoftkeys it is not related to setting up keyboard
shortcuts, but could be used to make on screen button shortcuts for RML
commands that are used a lot. Here is a description from Fred G. from the
Rivendell list from 2006.
1) RDSoftKeys Utility
I've added a new utility applet, called "RDSoftKeys". It can be used to
create windows containing buttons that generate RML to a target Rivendell
system when clicked. It is very lightweight, as it is configured by means
of
a simple text file and does not need a connection to mySQL, hence is
suitable
for uses outside of firewalls and such. I've added a Win32 port of it to
the
Windows package as well. Do "rdsoftkeys --help" and see the example in
'conf/rd.conf-sample' for info on how to program the buttons.
I hope this helps!

Subject: [RDD] RDAirPlay keyboard shortcuts... is it possible?
Hi guys,
I've found some discussions in the past [1] about developing RDD keyboard
shortcut for RdAirplay, a *very* needed addition, IMHO. This will help in
some repetitive and important tasks, like adding carts to a playlist,
selecting the sound panel or the main/aux logs, erasing cars from a PL,
etc.
Are there any plan on adding keyboard shortcuts?
BTW, there is a application called RDSoftkeys, but I can't find any info
about what it does.
Thanks you
