# compiling
## windows
- grab the [Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition](https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs.aspx) and install the C++ compiler and tools. the 32-bit compiler is currently used.
- clone the musikcube sources: `git clone https://github.com/clangen/musikcube.git`
- install the [32 bit version of boost 1.60](https://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost-binaries/1.60.0/boost_1_60_0-msvc-14.0-32.exe/download). ensure it shares the same parent directory with musikcube. e.g: `c:\src\musikcube` and `c:\src\boost_1_60_0` -- the project's solution will reference it via relative path.
- open `musikcube.sln` and build/run.
## mac
you'll need [homebrew](http://brew.sh/) to install the required dependencies.

## keyboard shortcuts
the hotkeys listed below can generally be used at any time; however, if an input field is focused some may not work. you can enter command mode by pressing `ESC`, which will highlight the bottom command bar and accept all hotkeys. command mode may be deactivated by pressing `ESC` again.
you may also change hotkeys by editing `~/.mC2/hotkeys.json` and restarting the app. a hotkey tester is provided in the settings screen.
- `TAB` select next window
- `SHIFT+TAB` select previous window
- `~` switch to console view

- `s` switch to settings view
- `i` volume up 5%

and a couple hotkeys that are specific to the library view:
