[FIXED 3.1.0.1223] Hotkeys are inconsistent

[lifeinbeats]

This may have already been addressed, and I apologize if it has, but I don't really have the time to wade through 1,000 posts on this forum. Although, if everyone does that then there are a million forum posts and no one can find anything, so it's kind of a catch 22. But anyway, my global hotkeys in Version 3.1.0.1244 are global but they don't override hotkeys in other programs like MM is used to doing. For instance, page up is my hotkey for "Playback: next track" and it does this even when I have another window open, but it also goes to the top of the page in the focused program as well.

There is a hidden config in MediaMonkey.ini file. Adding
PreferLLKeysHook = 1
to the [options] section of MediaMonkey.ini file will prefer Low Level Keyboeard hook and the hotkey will work like in MM 3.0
If you don't know how to edit MediaMonkey.ini file then see:

The reasons for taking another approach than low level keyboard hook are explained here:

My standard hotkeys don't work with full screen apps globally. For example, I'm playing a game with MM playing in the background, and when I press ctrl + s which is my shuffle key, nothing happens. (Whereas it would normally) Would adding the 'hook' line fix this?

Also, when using MM in mini or float player, NONE of my global hotkeys work, even the media keys which work in the above situation.

Thanks for any insight.

Do you have the IntelliType pro installed?
If yes then the solutions are:
a) Uninstall IntelliType PRO (or remove iType.exe from RunOnce registry via RegEdit). This way all Media Keys will work as expected.
b) Add the value PreferLLKeysHook = 1 to the [options] section of MediaMonkey.ini file
c) Assign macro as IntelliType PRO offers. Run the app, select Play/Pause from the keys list and click the [Assign/Manage Macro...] button. Assign e.g. 'Ctrl+P' as macro and make 'Ctrl+P' as global hotkey in MediaMonkey options.
