Hi Victor, thanks for your quick answer :)
I agree with you about the long press quickly increasing the volume. When you have in-ear earphones, it's really terrible for your ears! As for the "skip track" feature, it's been a pet peeve for a lot of Android users. On some phones it's implemented by default, on some others it's the same anti-feature of "rapidly increasing volume". On Android, some developers tackled the issue and created the Xposed framework [1] that allows to control lower layers of Android more easily. Thanks to this, a module called Physical Button Music Control [2] has been created that answers exactly this problem: you can control very precisely your music with shortcuts you define. I think this is a bit overkill, as I just want a ~300ms press on volume up/down key to skip to next/previous track. Hope this helps :) [1] http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer [2] http://repo.xposed.info/module/xeed.xposed.cbppmod -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493722 Title: Volume up/down long press should skip to next/previous track Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in Media Hub: Invalid Status in Ubuntu Music App: New Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: A handy feature of music players is the ability to quickly skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons. This allows users to control their music without having to take the device out of their pocket, turn its screen on, unlock it, go to the music app and press "Next". As of now, when I long press the volume button, it rapidly increases the volume, which is not very nice to my ears ;-) Is it possible to control the music app this way on Ubuntu phone?
