Description
_This is based on concept presented here: https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1140_
The idea is to allow user to control the Song transport without using mouse in the Song window.
I suggest the following hotkeys:
- Spacebar - play/pause toggle²
- ← - go back one measure²
- → - go forward one measure²
- ↑ - go back four measures
- ↓ - go forward four measures
- Page Up - go back 16 measures
- Page Down - go forward 16 measures
- Home - go to the Song's start (before first measure)²
- End - go to Song's end (after last measure)
² these keys are implemented right now, but work only if Song window is in focus.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing transport shortcuts that work when the Song window is focused, then determine how keyboard handling can apply them globally. Done means the listed keys control play/pause and Song transport movement without requiring the Song window to be focused.
