Default multimedia keyboard keys changed - yes, is possible to use without AHK running script

[MIRKOSOFT]

Hi!

I wanted to replace Calc button (AppKey2) on my keyboard by function to call any or more AHK scripts when no one is runing.
I did it successfuly by writting ShellExecute string value with filename to registry key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18

There are also other keys - representing subkeys:
15
16
17
18 - this I know - it's App2 or Calc
7
'cause I know only two AppKeys (1 and 2 - computer and calc) - other multimedia keys have here values too?
If yes - know anybody help me with whole values list?
Thank you all for sharing this feature.

Did you try the Autohotkey docs? Look under "key list" at "multimedia" - there is a whole list of them.

You probably want Launch_App1 or Launch_App2 - first launches My Computer, the latter launches calculator

On the Logitech K350 it is SC121

The issue is not all of the keys / combinations are readable without SetPoint.. The issue with SetPoint is that it breaks mouse clicking ( and holding ) in all games.. Ie click and hold mouse 4 in GTA 5 to "hide in car" won't work with SetPoint open because it changes the behavior of Mouse buttons to no longer allow holding them down.. ie on click it performs click, release... on release it performs nothing...

and here are the others:

Code: Select all

You understand me not - I mean Windows registry values.
To apply when AHK is not running - I need not to remap all, I want only to use one of them to start one AHK script where they're mapped.
Value like 18 in registry.
Long time I was trying to replace Calc by my own app for this purpose written in VB, but never successful, now I found this solution on the web and it works.
So, if are available more values I can select between 'cause I'm using multimedia keyboard.

I know you're not using AHK to rebind the keys ( this is old ) - but not all keys are accessible from what I've seen... If you figure out how to access all of the other keys, let me know!

[MIRKOSOFT]

Each key?
If yes, I'll try Spy+ and try to use keymap values of VICE emulator... If it will work, I post it here.

For now default values in registry are:

15 Mail
16 Media Stop - this one can confirm tomorrow
17 App1
18 App2
7 Browser Home
