Title: Program Keyboard for media button functions?
Post by: wig on September 23, 2018, 08:52:55 am: My new keyboard for my Win10 PC doesn't have media buttons, which I'm realizing was a serious oversight on my part.

It does have programmable keys. Can I program keys to emulate the media button controls (Vol up, Vol down, pause, previous, next) so that I can control JRiver while another program is active?

To be clear, programming for ctrl + +, ctrl + -, etc, doesn't work when JRiver isn't the active program.

Yes, you can assign custom global key in [Program]\Data\Custom Resources\Resource.xml

My example for the similar situation:

Code: [Select]
 <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;+" Text="Volume Up" Command="10018" Param="1" Global="1" /> <Entry Key="Ctrl;Shift;-" Text="Volume Down" Command="10019" Param="1" Global="1" />  <Entry Command="10000" Text="Play/Pause" Key="Ctrl;Shift;Insert" Global="1" /> <Entry Command="10000" Text="Play/Pause" Key="Ctrl;Shift;0" Global="1" /> <Entry Command="10002" Text="Stop" Key="Ctrl;Shift;Forwardslash" Global="1" /> <Entry Command="10002" Text="Stop" Key="Ctrl;Shift;Multiply" Global="1" />
