compiling

windows

  • grab the Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition 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. 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.

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
  • a switch to library view
  • s switch to settings view
  • i volume up 5%
  • k volume down 5%
  • j previous track
  • l next track
  • u back 10 seconds
  • o forward 10 seconds
  • r repaint the screen
  • . toggle repeat mode (off/track/list)
  • , (un)shuffle play queue
  • CTRL+p pause/resume (globally)
  • CTRL+x stop (unload streams, free resources)
  • CTRL+d quit

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

  • b show browse view
  • n show play queue
  • f show album/artist/genre search
  • t show track search
  • 1 browse by artist
  • 2 browse by album
  • 3 browse by genre
  • m jump to playing artist/album/genre in browse view
  • SPACE pause/resume

important: on OSX make sure you configure your terminal emulator to treat your left alt key as "+Esc" or "Meta".

musikcube is built around its own SDK interfaces. they're still in the process of being cleaned up and slimmed down. you can see what they look like here: https://github.com/clangen/musikcube/tree/master/src/core/sdk
