Toggle Jack Transport CLI

[Yassin Philip <philcm@xxxxxxx>]

Hi lista :)

Using an i3 shortcut, I can control my jack transport from everywhere, even when no jack application has focus :

bindsym $mod+p exec echo play | jack_transport
bindsym $mod+Shift+p exec echo stop | jack_transport

Thanks to FalkTX for the pipe trick BTW, I saw that on linuxmusicians ; This is very cool if you have some sort of wireless keyboard, but as you can see it's two different keystrokes, how do I make it so <command> toggles play/pause? Alternatively, how do I know when jack transport is rolling, so I can hack my way into making my own toggle script? I did my homework and read the inline --help of all the available jack commands on my machine :

⚡ jack_
jack_alias                  jack_freewheel              jack_monitor_client         jack_simple_client       
jack_bufsize                jack_iodelay                jack_multiple_metro         jack_simple_session_client
jack_capture                jack_latent_client          jack_net_master             jack_test                
jack_capture_gui            jack_load                   jack_net_slave              jack_thru                
jack_connect                jack_lsp                    jack_netsource              jack_transport           
jack_control                jack_metro                  jack_rec                    jack_unload              
jack_cpu                    jack_midi_dump              jack_samplerate             jack_wait                
jack_cpu_load               jack_midi_latency_test      jack_server_control         jack_zombie              
jack_disconnect             jack_midiseq                jack_session_notify                                  
jack_evmon                  jack_midisine               jack_showtime

But found no way to detect the transport status ; Is there a way to know it?
