[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1277206, member: 141969"] The [b]AutoHotKey[/b] tool can be used to filter and/or modify keystrokes. For the "Centarea HID" support pack, I provided an AutoHotKey script to improve usability (it was my first ever AutoHotKey script!). The script checks if the window with the focus is the MP client, and then checks for specific keystrokes, and performs specific processing for them. The bulk of keystrokes pass straight through without change. However... The question (to which I don't know the answer) is whether iTunes steals the keystrokes before the AutoHotKey script sees them. If iTunes does this, AutoHotKey is not a solution. I think that you should browse the AutoHotKey forum, and look for threads dealing with keystrokes in WMC. Since WMC suffers the same problem, this problem may already have been solved. There are also sample scripts on that web site, and there may be one for WMC. If there is, it probably needs only minor changes to work with MP. If there are no relevant threads or sample scripts, you should ask a question on that web site. Explain the problem, and then ask whether AutoHotKey is capable of solving that problem. An AutoHotKey expert should be able to answer "yes" or "no" immediately. If you are lucky, he may even provide some sample code for you to try. If you are unlucky, you may have to learn AutoHotKey programming yourself. Another possibility is the tool [b]EventGhost[/b]. I think that it works at a similar level to AutoHotKey, but as I have never used it I don't know whether it could do what you want. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
