Hi,

I'm trying to make a script which make pressing space pause Windows Media Player. I have made this:

Space::
IfWinActive, Windows Media Player
{
send {Media_Play_Pause}
}
else {
send {Space}
}
return

But I can't get it to work. It works when media player is active (it pauses it), but the "else"-part doesnt work. I get this error: 71 hotkeys have been received in the last 711ms.

Why doesn't it work?

Thanks

That did the trick. Thanks for the quick reply!

Doesn't seem to work in fullscreen mode though. Any ideas?

[Superfraggle]

In full screen mode my guess is the window title changes.

It worked when I had a fullscreen web-player, but now it doesn't work when I play a file (from my drive) in either fullscreen or windowed mode.

Check the window titles match, use the window spy to ensure the window titles are the same.

Seems to work now.. Thank you!

When I put the code above my other hotkeys (like #f::run firefox), those don't work. When I put it below them, that one don't work. Any idea why that is?

[Superfraggle]

The #Ifwinactive specifies that all hotkeys from this point on should only work in the sepecified window.

If you put that as the first few lines then all hotkeys will only work in Media player. Either place the hotkeys below all the rest. Or Use

I'm sorry, but I can't get it to work.

I can't put the media player code at the bottom. Then it doesn't work. If i remove "vahk_group mplayer" from the IfWinActive line as you said, space doesn't work at all when other apps are in focus. What am I missing or not understand?

Thanks

Your code should be as follows
