Global shortcuts not always detected [#8030]

[alirezanoori]

I'm sorry. I've never created a debug log. I couldn't find how to do it. Please tell me quickly how to do it. I'll be more than happy to do it.

Here is the debug file. It contains two files. The first long is when I clicked the shortcuts when eclipse was open. The second one is when I hit shortcuts after clicking on Windows Explorer (start menu).

I hope it helps.
Best regards.

I think that it's an issue IntelliType application, which has specific handling for WinAmp (and WMP), but other multimedia applications don't have such a luck and aren't supported by Microsoft. It can't be fixed in MM, it must be resolved manually - it should work to go to Control Panel\Keyboard and remove e.g. Play command. Certainly another option is to uninstall IntelliType completely, but I understand that it's something you might want to avoid.

I'm not sure if this helps or not, but I was trying to make hot keys to play next, and previous, and it wasn't working until I changed it to next file and previous file. Play/pause seemed to work the whole time.

Hope this helps someone out there.

ok all I'm having the same problem and I'm able to reproduce it at will.
(btw I'm using Windows 8.1 x64)

I've found that if the foreground application is elevated (ie run 'As Administrator') then global hotkeys are NOT dispatched to non-elevated applications.
If however MediaMonkey is elevated then it will receive hotkeys whether the foreground app is elevated or not.

So in my case, running MediaMonkey 'As Administrator' solved my 'inconsistent' key problem since I have to run Visual Studio elevated.

Hope this helps.

Problem is taht Windows handle these events and triggers.

You know taht you can't Drag and Drop from Non elevated app to Elevated, but you can from elevated to non elevated. It is the same principle.

I got the prob with BF4. I run MM as admin but can´t use pause, next or prev ingame.
My system is Win7 64 and the keyboard is the Logitech Illuminated.
So as I understand it should work but it doesn´t

Check if the shortcuts are used by BF4 in the options

Good idea but they are not. The shortcuts are multimedia-keys on my keyboard.
And I also checked, the keys are set as global in MM.
