Hi,

I am loving MusicBee overall, and am trying to wean myself from iTunes more completely. I have tried to search for these topics but didn't see anything matching, so apologies if I missed something.

I would LOVE to see the following three hotkeys added:
(If, for any of these three issues, there is an available workaround or plugin that I have missed, I would also be very happy to hear about it.)

1.) Is it possible to add a hotkey option for "restart current track"? Right now, the "previous track" option restarts the current track after a certain percentage or timing has elapsed, but if less time has elapsed than that, it moves to the actual previous track. I am trying to use MusicBee when teaching music history classes and often want to restart the current track I am talking about, so a feature that consistently allowed me to do that would be extremely valuable. (The "play now" option is also similar, but not quite helpful in this situation because if the music has played into another track from that which is highlighted in the main player window, it will reset to the highlighted track, whichever that may be. I often am projecting a score or have another application in the foreground and want to be able to restart whichever track is playing without too much rigmarole.)

2.) A second hotkey that would really be helpful is a "View: toggle MusicBee to become active window." The current "View: Application minimize/restore" feature is similar, but if another window is opened in front of musicBee (rather than the application being officially minimized), then the toggle first minimizes MusicBee from behind the other application and then only on the second toggle brings it to the front. It is a minor matter but still something that would be great to have so I can reliably toggle to adjust music and then go back to what I was doing with another app.

3.) Finally, when editing tag info after ripping a CD or downloading an album, I often want to go through track by track and make small changes to titles. It is very nice to be able to do this without moving the cursor away from the title field to click "next" and then replacing it in the field for each track. A hotkey that moved on to tag the next track (and previous track as well)--the way that alt-n and alt-p work in iTunes--would also be great.

Again, any help is appreciated if these things are already possible somehow that I haven't understood.

Thanks!
