Title: [Script] Rating outside of JRiver [System wide Hotkey]
Post by: defenz0r on June 22, 2016, 05:20:02 pm

Hi,

because JRiver cant handle Hotkeys while not in Focus i did a smart Workaround in https://autohotkey.com (https://autohotkey.com).
It works outside and is tested on Windows 10 x64

You can define global keyboard shortcuts in MC:

You need to add Global="1" to your hotkeys. Take a look at the default Resources.xml.

Interesting.  I thought Global must mean something other than what it means because it doesn't work on Mac.  I guess it's just another difference between MC on Windows and Mac.  Nice to know it works with Windows I guess.

Brian.
