PROPHESSOR's suggestions

[PROPHESSOR]

I'm proposing several feature enhancements that would significantly improve GQRX's functionality and user experience:

Scrolling:

• Revert limitation on scrolling over limits: Allow scrolling beyond the current frequency range (as it was before v2.17) and adjust hardware limits accordingly.
  

• Key modifiers for graph scrolling: Use Ctrl for faster scrolling and Shift for slower scrolling.

Playback:

• Loop playback: Add button to loop recorded fragments during playback.
  

Settings:

• Dedicated settings window: Offer a separate settings window for configurable options, including:

  • Color scheme (light/dark)
    
    

  • Toggle graph scroll action:

    • adjust frequency (as it is now)
    • zoom (as it is now when you scroll on the bottom slider)
    • scroll range (as it is now when you drag the bottom slider)
    • adjust bandwidth
      

  • Zoom mode:

    • to cursor
    • to current frequency
    • to center

  • Hotkey customization (it is convenient when you can set your own key bindings)

Interface:

• Buttons for Mode selection: Replace the dropdown menu with buttons for faster access to modes (AM/NFM/WFM/USB/etc.).
  

• Dockable IO recording/replay tool: Allow docking of this window for better workspace organization.
  

Bookmarks and Shortcuts:

• Marker/bookmark removal: Enable removal of markers/bookmarks with right-click, Alt+click, or double-click.

• Bookmark naming: Respect the typed name when creating new bookmarks, instead of defaulting to "new".

  • And here’s the problem, I didn’t understand that there are tags and not bookmarks. We need to change the layout of this window to make it more obvious
    

• Keyboard shortcuts window: Assign a shortcut (Ctrl+/, Ctrl+?, or F1) to open the Keyboard shortcuts window.

Additional Functionality:

• Device-less operation: Permit running the program without a connected device to enable playback of recorded IO files.
• Multiple saved pipe commands: Allow saving multiple pipe commands for audio processing, similar to Insert/Return mechanisms in audio production. These commands will be piped before GQRX's audio output.

Thanks for the suggestions. There are certainly some useful ideas here that could be implemented in the future.
