Details panel on default startup and shortcut keyboard

[giorgiobrit]

I wanted to ask if there is a way to set the details panel by default when starting georgia reborn. Also if it is possible via keyboard shortcut to switch from biography/playlist panel to details panel. Thank you

You can deactivate in top menu Options > Playlist > Show playlist on startup, then the theme will always start with the Details panel.

If you want a custom shortcut to the Details panel, you would need to do it yourself because jumpSearch and other shortcuts are already used and I won't add this support.

If you want to do it yourself, open gr-callbacks.js and add these for example ( CTRL + D shortcut ):

In function on_char(code) {
Replace original code:

// Switch back to Playlist
if (pref.layout === 'default' && !displayPlaylist && !displayLibrary) {
	btns.details.onClick();
}

with:

// Switch back to Playlist
if (pref.layout === 'default' && !displayPlaylist && !displayLibrary && !utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_CONTROL)) { // Exclude CTRL key
	btns.details.onClick();
}

And add this code at the end in function on_key_down(vkey) {

	// * Switch to Details panel on CTRL + D
	if (CtrlKeyPressed && utils.IsKeyPressed(VK_KEY_D)) {
		if (pref.layout !== 'artwork') {
			btns.details.onClick();
			if (displayPlaylist && !pref.lyricsActiveState) pref.displayLyrics = false;
		}
		else if (pref.layout === 'artwork') {
			btns.playlistArtworkLayout.onClick();
			if (displayPlaylistArtworkLayout) pref.displayLyrics = false;
		}
		playlist.on_size(ww, wh);
		resizeArtwork(true);
		initButtonState();
		window.Repaint();
	}

Big big thank you!!! thanks for all awesome work!

Hello TT and thank you very much for hard work on Georgia Reborn, the last beta is great! I wanted to ask if this modification to have a keyboard shortcut is still valid? I tried it as you described, but unfortunately, everything crashes. Since I control Georgia Reborn using a gamepad that emulates the keyboard, it would be great if there could be a shortcut between the details screen and the playlist screen, and vice versa. I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!"

Hi @giorgiobrit,

yes, the code above is not compatible anymore with the latest DEV version because of the last rewrite.

You now need to use this code here:

Open gr-callbacks.js and in function on_char(code) {
Replace original code:

		// Switch back to Playlist
		if (grSet.layout === 'default' && grm.ui.displayDetails) {
			grm.button.btn.details.onClick();
		}
		else if (grSet.layout === 'artwork' && !grm.ui.displayPlaylistArtwork && !grm.ui.displayLibrary) {
			grm.button.btn.playlist.onClick();
		}

with:

		// Switch back to Playlist
		if (grSet.layout === 'default' && !grm.ui.displayPlaylist && !grm.ui.displayLibrary && !utils.IsKeyPressed(VKey.CONTROL)) { // Exclude CTRL key
			grm.button.btn.details.onClick();
		}
		else if (grSet.layout === 'artwork' && !grm.ui.displayPlaylistArtwork && !grm.ui.displayLibrary && !utils.IsKeyPressed(VKey.CONTROL)) {
			grm.button.btn.playlist.onClick();
		}

Now open gr-main.js and go to handleKeyAction(vkey) {
Add this code block:

			[VKey.KEY_D]: {
				ctrl: () => {
					if (!this.displayDetails && grSet.layout === 'default' || !this.displayPlaylist && grSet.layout === 'artwork') {
						this.displayPanel('details', true);
					} else {
						this.displayPanel('playlist', true);
					}
				}
			},

like this:

		const keyActions = {
			[VKey.ADD]: {
				ctrlNoShift: () => grm.display.handleDisplayScaleKeyAction('increase'),
				altNoShift: () => grm.display.handleDisplayScaleKeyAction('reset'),
				ctrlShift: () => setRating('+')
			},
			[VKey.SUBTRACT]: {
				ctrlNoShift: () => grm.display.handleDisplayScaleKeyAction('decrease'),
				altNoShift: () => grm.display.handleDisplayScaleKeyAction('reset'),
				ctrlShift: () => setRating('-')
			},
			[VKey.KEY_D]: {
				ctrl: () => {
					if (!this.displayDetails && grSet.layout === 'default' || !this.displayPlaylist && grSet.layout === 'artwork') {
						this.displayPanel('details', true);
					} else {
						this.displayPanel('playlist', true);
					}
				}
			},
			[VKey.KEY_Z]: {
				ctrl: () => fb.RunMainMenuCommand('Edit/Undo')
			}
		};

Save and restart foobar, now it should work once again.

Many many thanks Tom!!! You're always kind! Thank you for everything! Enjoy your holidays.

Hi Tom, I tried to do as you told me, but it seems that something isn't working.

[TT-ReBORN]

I see, you want to have it toggleable. I edited and updated the new code here:
#111 (reply in thread)

Try it now, it should work...

[giorgiobrit]

Hi tom, now works very well but If I start Foobar and then don't right-click inside the interface, this keyboard shortcut doesn't work. Once I click the mouse button on any part of the interface, the shortcut works. I'm not sure if I explained myself clearly. It seems that to activate this shortcut, it's necessary to press the mouse button. Do you know why this happens?

[TT-ReBORN]

Hi @giorgiobrit,

I have taken a look at your described issue and it is a Spider Monkey Panel problem, this was already reported by @regorxxx here TheQwertiest/foo_spider_monkey_panel#195

It is a panel focus issue and I tried some workarounds but unfortunately they do not work...

So you still need to press the left or right mouse button to get the panel focus in order to make the keyboard shortcuts to work.

Thanks Tom! Let's hope that Spider Monkey gets updated soon for the 64-bit version as well.
