as per thread title , I would like a single keypress which rewinds the currently playing file back to beginning. i.e. same effect as pressing stop , then play. is there way way to assign one

I am looking to define a keybaord hotkeys set that does all I need from a standard keyboard ( without media keys on it ). I am almost here, but am stuck on this issue

in spotify , for example, I just press CTRL+left ( OK so that is 2 keys at once but hopefully you get the concept).

I can use "previous track" hotkey control for this but only if there is only 1 entry on playlist!

Indeed, there is none. Can you file a bug request on that?
