I forgot to mention that setting a global shotcut using the windows key + some non-media-key key works just fine. But even trying windows key (called the "Meta key") + some-media-key did not work. Casper could you have a look at this please? Could you please try assigning the shortcut to <Ctrl+Alt>+Media key. Global shortcuts in Windows have to start with Ctrl+Alt according to Microsoft. Please update. Tried following key combinations for global shotcuts with no success: <Alt> + Media Key <Ctrl> + Media Key <Meta> + Media Key <Alt + Ctrl> + Media Key <Alt + Meta> + Media Key <Ctrl + Meta> + Media Key <Alt + Ctrl + Meta> + Media Key I did successfully get the following map to work globally. Play: Meta + x Next Track: Meta + c Previous Track: to Meta + z But I could not get the global increase volume or the global decrease volume to work. Even with the default mapping. Could you let me now what your media shortcuts are? is it the volume up/down keys? Do you have a branded keyboard with a specific driver? I just tested with JuK, which has the volume controls mapped to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+<up/down> those work... Well, the ones I am trying to get to work are currently my Play,Next Track, and Previous track keys. As for the specfic keyboard / driver combination: It's an Inspiron 1520 Laptop. The global shortcut for volume I attempted was <all combinations of Meta, Ctrl and alt keys> + = (for increase) and - (for decrease). The default mapping is indeed incorrect, <Ctrl+Alt/Meta>+<plus/minus> is already a MS global shortcut. I think we cannot use those two keys for shortcuts... for me Meta+<arrow up/down> works, can you confirm if this works for you (I run 2.2-GIT) Nothing I can do about this now, don't have a multimedia keyboard and MS sets a lot of new Global shortcuts in Win7. This needs some discussion, preferably within whole of KDE and topic on MSDN. I posted a topic on MSDN: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/463860a2-0b72-4df5-94c2-7be7fca0dd26 These shortcut problems are not really something we can do anything about since we cannot override the WM_KEYDOWN in a central place (it goes to the active window, and global shortcuts are for the case when the Window is not visible). I still cannot help with the Multimedia keys... Casper, is this still valid? Seems you can't reproduce for all of it, according to your previous comments. Please close if we can't do something about this. Is this really a bug in Amarok or a problem with the Windows presets? This does not seem to be a issue with amarok, i can successfully bind and use my media keys with a Logitech G15 keyboard Thank you for the feedback. I suspect a driver problem. |
