Global Hotkeys

I found about MOC on Full Circle Magazine and immediately installed it to try out. Have been loving it since and takes less than 10% memory of rythmbox. Cool! There is just one feature that I am missing and that is global hotkeys. I am used to moving to next song in the playlist (while say browsing on Firefox) using global keyboard shortcuts in other music players. Is this feature available in MOC. Thanks.

You can assign a shortcut in your window manager (for example: kde has hotkeys) to execute command mocp --next.

Try read this manual http://www.onyon.net/index.php/2005-10-08_19.29.38_MappingkeyboardbuttonsusingxbindkeysOSDwithMOCPlayer
But it is necessary feature. Maybe it will be in future versions.
