For the most time i use the "random" play order, because so i can quickly access the titles next to the actual playing in the playlist (in shuffle-order it jumps to the last title played instead of the previous in playlist) using the previous-track / next-track (global) shortcuts. Is there the possibility to jump quickly (with global shortcut) to the last played track (play history) when in random-order-mode?

I hate to fetch foobar from system tray, press the keys for history, select the last track and "activate" (play) it just to get the last played track...


And in this context another question:
I am able to assign a global shortcut to a action like "playlist search". But when foobar is minimized to tray and i press the keys, foobar opens the search window but it is also hidden in the system tray. I can blindly do some search and it works, but i think that someone who don't knows his playlist by heart or with a very long list will have some problems on doing a blind search...
In Winamp 5 when you press a global shortcut for playlist search while minimized to tray, the search window pops up on the desktop and closes after finished search again (without fetching winamp from tray). Is there the possibility to implement this feature to foobar? (or if already implemented, where can i activate it?)

If you have foo_history installed just add global shortcuts for "Playback/History/Previous in history" (the same for "next in history").

1. Try setting shortcut for [main] Playback/History/Previous in history. Perhaps you'd like to have a shortcut for Next in history also, as it works great with all different playback orders (it goes to the next song in playlist in default and to a random song in random/shuffle, etc).

2. I know this is not what you asked, but I myself use a shortcut for [main] Foobar2000|Activate or hide main window.

edit: Damn I'm slow :B

Thanks, the global shortcut worked. I think, i tried it with an earlier version and there it didn't work. But no problem now :-)
