Hi there,

I would like to have QLC running in the background but still be able to use key combinations. Any ideas how to do this in Linux (Xfce)?

Thanks,
Anders Thomsen

Not going to happen without a lot of work. Just get a midi keyboard.

Hi Anders,
I think I recall a keyboard shortcut tool in Linux synaptic.
I'm not at my machine now, but maybe you'll find it?

One quick solution would be adding libqxt to the project.
