Stop playback with `[esc]`?

So, this is somewhat related to (it turns out: mine ) previous topics:

Per field audio autoplay (again…)

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a couple of cards with multiple audio recordings - mostly one with the vocabulary and then a bunch of example sentences. While I prefer to have the sole vocabulary to be read-out, having auto-play of all sentences is just annoying… Describe the solution you’d like It would be great to have field configuration option in NoteType which would controll if the audios of particular field should be auto-played or not.

Shortcut to stop playback?

Is there a shortcut or any other way to stop playback once it started?

The current problem I have is that because there is no sane solution for 1st topic (yet) and the 2nd is quite inconvenient - 5 key is close to 1-4 used to rate the answer, leading to quite often hitting the wrong key - I would like to suggest switching “Stop playback” from 5 to [esc] key:

• it’s more separated = less chance to confuse it
• [esc] is usually associated with cancelling some action, which would fit it better semantically.

Esc closes various dialogs, and I think it might get a bit confusing if it also served this purpose. I imagine this is a tweak you could make with an add-on for now however.

Well, indeed it closes some dialogues but! A lot depends on the context. If you are on the main card screen then there is no dialogue to close.

What’s more - if there is an entry field you can’t stop the playback with 5 as it’s being typed-in
