Next/previous buttons only skip one song, don’t continue while held

foobar2000 1.2.1 on WinXP SP3:

-> add some files to the playlist
-> hit "Playback Next" or Playback Previous" shortcut and hold it


Result: Just skips to the next/previous track

Expected: Skips tracks as long as the shortcut it pressed

My "Result" was not fully correct.


It should read:

Result: Skips to the 2nd next/previous track

So "holding" next/previous button results in a double action.

Still happening in 1.3.1

Keyboard shortcuts are not designed to auto repeat. You'll find this applies to all hotkey actions.

Scrub and volume control auto-repeat with the keyboard, though.
