so far I have just been awestruck with the complexity of the problem, I mapped the keycodes for my hotkeys but can't figure out howto tell litestep to do the specified command when the keycode is given. If I use intelitype with the keyboard amazingly the first 8 keys work but the other 7, more important ones don't. which are mute, volume up/down, play/pause, stop, prev,next,media. Please just someone point me atleast to a faq that will atleast get me rolling.
Why would this be a request? gggg
Off to Modules with you!
Try jkey.dll. Works for most multimedia keys.
how do I determine the keycodes for jkey? I tried using keycodes that vb uses but that didn't work, is there some formula, like I noticed they were 12 off for the arrow keys but were dead on for f keys. the keycodes were 160 to 182.
awesome! thanks. uhoh.....uh one more prob, I can't get the keys to work using *Jkey in the hotkeys.rc, however I do get them to work using *Hotkey, but only If I assign a modifier key to the key like CTRL.
Erm, does your theme actually load jkey?
For binding multimedia keys I would recommend a third party utility called Winmapper available at
http://www.spinner.nl. It was designed specifically for the purpose of creating hotkeys and rebinding multimedia keys, with and without modifiers. You can bind it to litestep command using bang.exe or litestep.exe [bang command]. You would have to disable intellitype to use winmapper though, the two *will* conflict if you try to run them both at once.
yeah jkey is loaded cause otherwise why would the hotkeys work when I disabled hotkey from loading. I looked at winmapper but it's not open source and it costs money.
Oh yeah btw, I installed Jkey by removing the hotkey loadmodule and putting jkey in its place and right after it is loaded I put the commands: JkeyUseHotkeyDef and JKeyVKTable "vk104.txt"
I'm wondering if there is a way I can make it load with all themes instead of having to mod each theme myself which is quite a hasle.
Well if you put in "JkeyUseHotkeyDef" it looks for *Hotkey instead of *jkey...
I thought it would look for both, and neways about not needing to push a modifier key with my media keys would be realy nice thing to have
.none works for me... might depend on the jkey version you have, 0.37 over here.
OH THANK THE GODS IT WORKED........I updated from 0.36 to 0.37 and it got rid of the annoying errors with some of the internal hotkeys and it allowed me to use .none, now if only there was a place where I could look up !bang commands or whatever commands I would need to use my media keys, I found some for winamp, but I was hoping for universal keys. In other words vol +/- buttons would control master volume instead of just winamps, and play/pause to work with both winamp and WinDVD and so on.....
I am in ur debt ilmcuts, and don't worry, after all of this I am going to make a guide and make sure it's placed somewhere for all to see
I have been able to reconfigure almost all of my theme.
But i could not get rid of this annoying bug.
Now can't i just get rid of LS own volume control?
Only three keys that do not work for me are mute, vol+ and vol-.
All the rest do work.
So i tried to disable any audio control module i could find but to no avail: the keys do not work.
So is LS controlling volume internally?
Is it possible to permanently disable this control?
