This little plugin adds the ability to assign multimedia keyboard buttons that sends APPCOMMAND (for example some HP keyboards) as (global) keyboard hotkeys.

In other words, if you can't add your multimedia keys in the keyboard-shortcuts settings screen, then try this plugin. Just unzip to the components folder, restart fb2k and then try to add the keys as shortcuts again.

Works well, thank you!

Easier than doing the registry hack routine... smile.gif

Works perfectly. Finally using those MM buttons.

Works perfectly with Keyboard Elite, thanks!

Sorry for the stupid question but how do you use this? I don't really know how you're supposed to set keyboard shortcuts... crying.gif
gob
any possibility of completely disabling MM keys?

This sounds like an awesome component, but I just tried using it, and whenever I press one of the buttons on my laptop, it automatically opens windows media player, which obviously I don't want. Hmm I suppose I could just uninstall WMP. But is there another way around this?

Also, is it possible to set up these MM buttons so that they ALWAYS control foobar, not just when foobar is the active program? that would be v. awesome. biggrin.gif

Did you set your buttons in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" properties? After the installation of this component, it will detect these multimedia buttons as other keys.

I did that, but it's still opening WMP. I figured out how to make them Global Hotkeys though. (It wasn't exactly hard. ohmy.gif )

If there are not settings which bind the keys to WMP in the windows control panel, then there are probably registry keys you can edit.

Apologies for the necro but it makes more sense to post in the thread about this component.

I'm curious if anyone is able to make this work with Razer's Tarantula keyboard. Foobar still will not recognize the play/stop and prev/next keys even with the appcommand component.

Excellent. Works like a charm! Thanks for this!
