Customizable Global Media Hotkeys

[Souly0]

The problem

Sonora currently supports media controls, but there doesn't appear to be a way to assign custom keyboard shortcuts to these controls.

I would like to use keyboard shortcuts for controlling Sonora while using other applications, such as a browser or a game. The shortcuts should work globally while Sonora is running, even when Sonora is not the foreground application.

What you want instead

I would like Sonora to have a settings option for customizable global hotkeys for:

• Volume Up
• Volume Down
• Play / Pause
• Next Track
• Previous Track

Each action should allow the user to assign a custom key or key combination.

It would also be useful to have an option for these hotkeys to have global/priority behavior, so Sonora can capture the assigned keys while it is running instead of allowing the foreground application to handle them.

Ideally, this would be configurable entirely from Sonora's settings.

Alternatives you considered

I considered using AutoHotkey to handle this externally, but having the functionality built directly into Sonora would be more convenient and reliable, especially for controlling Sonora's own playback and volume.
