Edit keys:

  * Ctrl+Shift+G: Find in playlist

    Find provides a way to match a string with the title of a track in
    the playlist. Ideally aiming for the perfect result but in cases
    where multiple results are displayed; Euterpe can cycle through them
    with Enter and Shift+Enter. Ctrl+Enter closes the dialog and
    selects the current result. Esc aborts the dialog and selects the
    last known selection; the same applies for zero results or an empty
    string. Also the title bar displays some useful information in the
    form of #X Y:Z where X is the index of the track in the playlist,
    Y the current result and Z the total results.

  * Ctrl+W: Cut selected tracks in playlist

  * Alt+W: Copy selected tracks in playlist

  * Ctrl+Y: Paste cut/copied tracks in playlist

  * Ctrl+S: Sort playlist

    Note: playlist # (index) is always sorted in ascending order. The
    effect of sort by index is that it reverses the playlist order.

  * Ctrl+R: Reverse playlist

    It reverses the order of the playlist. The same can be applied if
    you click the # (index) column header.

  * Ctrl+Shift+R: Randomize playlist

    It randomizes the order of the playlist using the Mersenne Twister
    pseudorandom number generator (PRNG).

    This is an essential functionality because Euterpe does not
    provide any other indication for the current playing track.
