xmms2 widget for awesome I am trying to use the xmms2 widget. As it is, the widget does not conforms to awesome 3.X specifications -- or at least, I may have misunderstood how widgets should work. I certainly cannot get it to display anything as is. Does anyone have an update to this widget?

Not a widget as such but you can get keyboard short cuts by adding


awful.key({}, "XF86AudioPlay", function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("nyxmms2 toggle") end),
awful.key({}, "XF86AudioStop", function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("nyxmms2 stop") end),
awful.key({}, "XF86AudioPrev", function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("nyxmms2 prev") end),
awful.key({}, "XF86AudioNext", function () awful.util.spawn_with_shell("nyxmms2 next") end)


to your `rc.lua` file.

In addition, the official site widget has been updated and the code there now works fine for me.
