Hi,
I've been a desktop Linux user for two years now and only just came upon Strawberry by accident. How is it possible that after four years it doesn't have a bigger profile in the Linux community?? I'm sponsoring the project of course - a free audio-quality-first player? I'm in!
Thank you for your ongoing contribution to audiophile audio, and I do hope your back pain problem is proving manageable.

Hi all,
This post describes how to set up a global play/pause keyboard shortcut for Strawberry in KDE Plasma.
I'm using Strawberry with KDE and so, per the warning in settings, am using KDE's MPRIS dbus-based keyboard shortcuts rather than enabling the X11 ones. By default, Strawberry offers separate keyboard shortcuts for Play and Pause, but not a Play/Pause toggle shortcut.
To create this, open System Settings, then navigate to Custom Shortcuts and create yourself a new group in the second pane ('Mine' in the screenshot below), then right-click on the group name and select New->Global Shortcut->D-Bus Command. Give it an appropriate name. In the right-hand pane, select the Trigger tab and input your preferred shortcut (I use Meta+space). Then select the Action tabl and fill the fields as per the screenshot below and click Apply. Voila, you have a global play/pause keyboard shortcut for Strawberry!
@rlkeeney thanks!
D'oh! Obvious now that you say it 
But thanks so much for the rapid answer!
Cheers,
Ian
Hi all (and a happy new year to those who celebrate 
I have a moderately large collection (~250GB) located across my LAN and accessed via NFS. Doing a full collection rescan is now quite slow, so I'm wondering whether there is an alternate way to add a new folder of music to the library?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

It was presumptuous of me to speak for the community at large - my apologies! What I meant was why hadn't I heard about it sooner, based on my linux audiophile quest 
Thanks again,
