How can I set global shortcut keys to Pause and Record buttons in audacity?

Options of vlc allow assigning global hotkeys but there's not such options in audacity.

Can you control audacity externally, e.g. via the command line? – Sparhawk Jul 27 '14 at 01:55
I do not know how if possible. – Minimus Heximus Jul 27 '14 at 02:01
I did have a quick search, but I'm not sure if it's possible to control it externally. If not, then I suspect it's not possible to assign global hotkeys either. – Sparhawk Jul 27 '14 at 02:02

One possible way to do this is to use xdotool to inject a keystroke to a particular window. http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/87839/18887 – Sparhawk Aug 05 '14 at 01:29

thanks. But I could not get it work. There is also a key sending system in KDE. That system did not work too. – Minimus Heximus Aug 05 '14 at 07:55
Ah yes, so there is. There is so much to KDE that I haven't scratched the surface of. – Sparhawk Aug 05 '14 at 10:30
