How to quicklist for DeaDBeeF?

Question

How to add quicklist lines to deadbeef.desktop file ? Because it's my favorite music player ;)

Answer 1

It sounds like you may already know the basics of quicklists, but I figured I'd better be thorough anyway

1. Copy launcher file to your home directory:

   cp /usr/share/applications/deadbeef.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
   

2. Open the file for editing in gedit:

   gedit ~/.local/share/applications/deadbeef.desktop
   

3. Add this text to the bottom of the file, then close and save:

   X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts=Play;Pause;Stop;Next;Prev
   [Play Shortcut Group]
   Name=Play
   Exec=deadbeef --play
   TargetEnvironment=Unity
   
   [Pause Shortcut Group]
   Name=Pause
   Exec=deadbeef --pause
   TargetEnvironment=Unity
   
   [Stop Shortcut Group]
   Name=Stop
   Exec=deadbeef --stop
   TargetEnvironment=Unity
   
   [Next Shortcut Group]
   Name=Next
   Exec=deadbeef --next
   TargetEnvironment=Unity
   
   [Prev Shortcut Group]
   Name=Prev
   Exec=deadbeef --prev
   TargetEnvironment=Unity
   

There are a few other commands in deadbeef -h but these are the only ones that I thought made sense to add.
