[ANN] Soma 3.3.0
by dive from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53J8S)
Soma is a console dialog/mplayer radio player and recorder.
Homepage with slackbuild: http://tty1.uk/slackbuilds/noversion/soma/
cgit: http://git.tty1.uk/cgit.cgi/soma/ (I need to fix the colours...)
Note that it's OK to update the version in 14.2 with this, but please post any problems/bugs below.
New in this version are keyboard shortcuts for bookmarks.
Function keys F1-F12 will activate the first 12 stations in your bookmarks list. When you view the bookmarks now the first 12 will be numbered to make it easier to sort them etc.
Function keys generate a sequence of codes so they aren't captured by a straight-forward method. Also, most consoles seem to want to generate different codes. This makes it a bit tricky, but I've managed to get it working for plain tty, st, urxvt and xterm, and those also inside screen. Sometimes, you may need to hold a key down for a fraction of a second until it's detected.
If you find your function keys don't work, can you please reply below with the $TERM, and the key codes as seen by pressing them inside 'cat'? I'll add any new ones here for the next release. (Possible future idea to add the to the config?)
(Note for Pat - I applied your slack-desc.diff and changes from the -current slackbuild.)
Cheers
PS: running 'slackpkg new-config' after the install will update the .new stations and options in /etc/soma
