Personally, I could really use a single-key keyboard shortcut in Jamulus to toggle 'Mute Myself' status - like X or M. I often find the need to toggle this setting between songs to tune-up or whatever. Hitting a single-key rather than moving the mouse and clicking a checkbox would be awesome.
It is very easy to add the shortcut "Alt-m". For this to work, the main window must have the focus. It is not a single key press but close ;-). Would that be ok for you?

Can you make the key (the code) programmable so that Bluetooth foot
pedals(page turners) and selfie buttons can be used?

The change for the Alt-m was trivial. I only had to add a "&" to the text: "&Mute Myself". This is a standard OS feature.
Maybe it is possible with some tool to send keyboard shortcuts to an application (like Jamulus) on a press on the bluetooth foot pedal.

I will see if I can intercept and modify what is sent by that device if/when
you implement &Mute Myself. While I have your attention, I want you to know
how important Jamulus has been to me these last months. I appreciate how
complex it is technically, how user friendly you made it and how magical the
result is when people get together to use it.

I have a CODA Stomp bluetooth pageturner foot pedal that supports sending the following keyboard strokes:
Left/Right Arrow
Up/Down Arrow
Page Up/Page Down
Space/Enter
Any chance one of these combinations could be incorporated into Jamulus for a mute toggle? It doesn't look like Alt-m or other keystoke combinations are currently supported but I'm researching middle-man apps.

Okay, I found the perfect solution - install a tool called Autohotkey - https://www.autohotkey.com/ which lets you run a background script that intercepts single keystrokes (in my case I used left and right arrow which my bluetooth pageturner pedal sends) and sends Alt-m to Jamulus to toggle mute. Anxiously awaiting the next build of Jamulus to have Alt-m!

Thank-you Volker! The new install works great with Alt-m muting - see attached video. I'm using Autohotkey to map left and right arrow keys to Alt-m for use with a bluetooth page turner.
It occured to me that adding additional "Alt" keyboard shortcuts for toggling the display of "Settings" and "Chat" windows could be useful as well to help manage screen real-estate during large jams or when other apps need to be displayed at the same time. Would this be easy to do?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thank you gents. I also used Autothotkey for now to translate the Volume up
(SC130 code for Autothotkey) and can use my ABshutter to mute my stream.
Testing was useful and leads me to see two issues that make it a little less
convenient than I expected.
1) The Jamulus window must be the active one (of course). I sometimes
view song sheets on the same PC and those will more likely be active. So, I
will still need to reach across to get my mouse. Issue #2 may lead to the
solution
2) There are two buttons on the device. I used the one for IOS which
sends only the code for volume-up. There is also a button for android which
sends enter+volume-up. If I press that one by mistake, it opens and closes
chat, connect window or worse, disconnects me. But, this gives me the idea
to map that Android button to something else that makes the Jamulus window
the active window which solves both issues.
The Autohotkey script
NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future
AutoHotkey releases.
; #Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and
reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
KeyHistory
SC130::
send, !m
return
I am also going to see if I can map the keycode in the registry since this
Autohotkey SW makes me a little nervous about security.

I haven't found any previous feature requests regarding this on Github - https://github.com/corrados/jamulus/issues. I did find a previous post on this forum requesting a 'Mute Myself' toggle for use with Bluetooth page-turners - https://sourceforge.net/p/llcon/discussion/533517/thread/fae59f4d7b/, but there isn't any discussion or followup. I think this is also a great idea.
Is this 'single-key toggle mute' a feature others could use? Perhaps we could add other single-key shortcuts as well to a Github request?

Excellent tip BTDT! "WinActivate, Jamulus" works great to activate the Jamulus window. Thanks!
I added these, too.
Wonderful! I thank you sir!
