+ previous, play, pause, stop, next, random.
-syntax is following:
+ also notice hotkey hints in the menus.

+ it is not (yet?) possible to remap keys.
+ also see GLOBAL HOTKEYS section below.
-example (note the numbers - must be like that):

+ since 0.3.0 release, all configuration is stored in single file:
+ $HOME/.config/deadbeef/config
-full list of actions:
+ you need to exit player before editing this file, or your changes will be overwritten.
-toggle_pause, play, prev, next, stop, play_random, seek_fwd, seek_back, volume_up, volume_down, toggle_stop_after_current
+ most stuff can be configured through edit->preferences dialog.
+
+* ALBUM ART DISPLAY
+
+ to display album artwork, you need to follow the steps below
+
+ 1. add new column, select Album Art type
+ 2. right click on the playlist column headers, and in context menu select "group by" submenu. click "Artist/Date/Album".
+
+* OSD NOTIFICATIONS
+
+ you can enable/configure them in "OSD Notify" plugin options
+
+* CUESHEETS
+
+ to load image+cue rips, you need to open/add actual image files, and Deadbeef will find the right .cue file automatically.
+
+ you should not try to add .cue files to playlist
+
+ example:
+
+ Unknown Artist - Unknown Album.flac <---- open this file
+ Unknown Artist - Unknown Album.cue <---- this file will be used automatically
+
+* GLOBAL HOTKEYS

+ now there's GUI configuration for global hotkeys plugin, but I keep this section for reference.

+
+ example (note the numbers - must be like that):
+

+ hotkeys.key4 Ctrl Alt v: stop
+ hotkeys.key5 Ctrl Alt x: play
