• Media Keys for a non-media keyboard.

Would anyone happen to know how I could use my keyboard for general media hot keys? I currently have a "Das Keyboard II" and it did not come with hot keys. I was googling around and could not find any suitable programs. My goal is to have global volume control and playback control, similar to the functionality of the media keys on a media keyboard. An ideal set up would be to assign keys like this: ===== Vol +: Ctrl+Alt+PageUp Vol -: Ctrl+Alt+PageDown Play / Pause: Ctrl+Alt+Insert Stop: Ctrl+Alt+Delete Fast Forward: Ctrl+Alt+Home Rewind: Ctrl+Alt+End ===== Or something like that. If I need to clarify anything, please let me know.
AutoHotKey / AutoIT should be capable of doing this. Don't know how to use it myself really though.

For those interested: [url]http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm[/url] Edit: Finally figured out how this works. Here is a link to the script, the compiled EXE and the program to compile your own. [url]http://files.bioshazard.com/files/Tools/Random/MediaKeys/[/url]
Foobar2000 (FB2K) has global hotkeys built in [url]http://www.foobar2000.org/[/url] I'm not saying it's better than whatever your using, but it's the best thing i've found. windows key + Numpad0 = Stop windows key + Numpad1 = Random windows key + Numpad4 = rewind/start of song windows key + Numpad6 = Fast Forward/next song windows key + Numpad 5 = pause volume is windows key + Numpad 2/8 and so on
Very cool. The reason I prefer my solution, though, is because it adds universal media keys. The biggest one I wanted was volume control. And what I posted is the perfect solution IMO FB2K is really nice though.
