Title: My Mac Custom Keyboard Shortcuts (key mapping)
Post by: blgentry on June 28, 2015, 10:27:01 am

At least one person said they were interested in my keyboard shortcuts, so here they are.  These can be pasted into the end of the Resources.xml file in your directory at:

~/Library/Application Support/J River/Media Center 20/Data/Custom Resources/Resource.xml

Mappings:

Code: [Select]

    <!-- DSP Studio -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;D" Command="10016" Param="0" />
    <!-- Play/Pause -->
    <Entry Key="Space" Command="10000" Param="0" TranslateFlags="21" />
    <!-- Next and Previous track -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Right" Command="10003" Param="0" TranslateFlags="21" />
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Left" Command="10004" Param="0" TranslateFlags="21" />
    <!-- Show Now Playing -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;N" Command="10013" Param="1" />
    <!-- Ratings Commands with Alt/Option 0 to clear 1 through 5 to rate -->
    <Entry Key="Alt;0" Command="10023" Param="0" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;1" Command="10023" Param="1" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;2" Command="10023" Param="2" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;3" Command="10023" Param="3" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;4" Command="10023" Param="4" />
    <Entry Key="Alt;5" Command="10023" Param="5" />
    <!-- Volume Up and Down 5% -->
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Up" Command="10018" Param="5" />
    <Entry Key="Ctrl;Down" Command="10019" Param="5" />

are these only active while the MC20 window is in focus because I don't see how using space as a hotkey could be a good idea.  I mean i use it all the time for typing.

Correct.  These mappings only work when Media Center is the active application.  Switch to another application and these mappings won't do anything with MC.

There are third party apps that do global key mappings under OSX, but I don't know much about them.

Finally, MC seems to globally map the media control keys on the Mac keyboard to play/pause and track forward and backward.  Those keys are labeled on the Mac keyboard on the top row.  I don't use them, but they've worked every time I've tested them with MC.
