Action key codes for global hotkeys
« on: July 04, 2018, 09:16:33 AM »
New user so don't know if this has already been raised. I'm currently trying to set up VA with Global Hotkeys to control VLC media player while playing games & wanted to use Microsoft's Media Key assignments but can't as I don't have a keyboard with these keys. Would be nice to broaden the VA shortcut key definition mechanism, either by adding these keys to the drop down list or by alllowing insertion of a decimal keycode, e.g.:
Key_Mute;173
Key_VolumeDown;174
Key_VolumeUp;175
Key_NextTrack;176
Key_PrevTrack;177
Key_MediaStop;178
Key_PlayPause;179


EDIT by Pfeil: Functionality is already available, as indicated

Those keys are available if you go into the key press screen and click on the keyboard icon near the top-right, below the, 'Press Key' button. 

Hope that helps!

Ah ok, thanks.
I did look there but didn’t see them, but then brain has been in slow mode due to heat & lack of sleep over last few days. Will look again!!
