Hello, I have one little suggestion....

In the Preset and Samples tabs on the left hand side of the UI, you can left click on a preset/sample to hear a little blip of what it sounds like, which is really nice for when you want to preview them before deciding if you want to add one to your project.

But what would make this even better is if you could press the spacebar or some other key to hear this preview rather than having to move your mouse and click on the sample/preset you want to hear. Then you could use the arrowkeys on your keyboard to go through dozens of presets/samples and press the spacebar to hear them, which would make it very fast and efficient. You wouldn't even have to use the mouse. This would make previewing them a breeze, especially when you have long lists of presets (like the ZynAddSubFX ones) and you want to quickly find the perfect one to use in your project.

As far as I know, there isn't already a key to do this, but if there is, please let me know - I'd be interested.

Thanks,

I hope someone will find the time to implement this for lmms-1.3.
