Windows Media Player global hotkeys

hey guys,

I have no programmer skills, I tried on looking at the "quick-start" I can't seem to understand it but I really want to edit my windows media player hotkeys.

This is what I was planning on having.

when windows media player is minizaned and I'm playing games, I would like to switch songs, stop the music etc, without the need of me exiting the game to change song.

It is something like what mac's keyboard has to offer, but I don't have a mac, just a simple keyboard.

I would like to assign those hotkeys on my F9-F12 keys (since for me they are pretty much useless.)

I would be very thankful for any help.
Thank you for your time.

You do realize you could just buy a media keyboard that has it's own "media buttons" for play/pause, stop, skip, and volume right on the keyboard... right?

If you're using a laptop it might be a different story. In that case just search the forum for the name of the media player you use and hopefully you'll be able to find a script someone has made and graciously shared with the community.

True but I really don't feel like purchasing a media keyboard because it was way too many unneded buttoms.

and I will take a look around

thats pretty easy to do,

you just need to look at the forums more carefully

what about no programming skills doesnt this noob understand????????

Ahk can remap normal keyboard keys to become media keys. Give these a try.

; Save this to a text file, then give the file a name and change its extension to ".ahk". Then double-click to run
F9::Send {Media_Play_Pause}
F10::Send {Media_Stop}
F11::Send {Media_Prev}
F12::Send {Media_Next}

[VxE] I f*ckin' love you Thanks very much.
