Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/693

Does the keymaps.toml file not accept function keys as acceptable shortcut alternatives? I tried entering it but the program threw an error each time. It won't accept it's equivalent keycodes or keysym values from xev either.

ncspot , one of another terminal programs this app derives inspiration from works properly with keys like F3. Basically what I wanted to do was to go search bar [for songs] and then return to library view without using C-q for returning first. If I could map Library and Queue views to Function keys, then such an issue wouldn't arise [ncspot does such by default but it lacks Spotify Connect most notably, which tilted me towards this alternative].

should be working: github.com/aome510/spotify-player@78edb10e15/spotify_player/src/key.rs (L40-L51)

I haven't really used the function keys so I'm not sure if they are incorrectly parsed 🤔

should be working:

Thank you, it works like a charm. I was putting in capital keycodes since many apps including ncspot used to take that as input. It never came to my mind to try the smaller character.
