Alt+ 3 doesn't work after Wmpkeys (windows media player plug-in) installed

0

Alt+1, Alt+2, Alt+3 .... combos doesn't work after I installed wmpkeys which gives media player a global hotkey ability. If you guys could overcome this problem let me know please.

Edit : This is my edited combinations, but I must say Alt buttons wasn't already working before I changed the shortcuts..

Have you changed the hotkeys? – DavidPostill – 2014-10-07T13:23:21.667

Windows Media Player Plus! is a more recent plug-in that also allows you to configure global hotkeys for WMP.

Source WMPKeys: Adds Global Hot Keys To Windows Media Player

To change hotkeys go to Options -> Plug-ins, select Wmpkeys Plugin and click Properties to open the Settings for WMP Keys. There you can input any combination of keys for different functions.

The default hotkeys do not seem to include Alt+Number

Note

According to the project page WMPKeys is Beta software. It has not been updated since 2008-05-18

In addition, there is an open bug:

When wmp is open with this plugin enabled some keys don't work... Till now i've found 3: @ (ALT GR + 2), £ (ALT GR + 3), § (ALT GR + 4). I just can't write them anywhere, as soon as i desable the plugin it gets to its normal state. My OS is Windows 7 (x64)

Conclusion

It is old and buggy. You are probably better off finding an alternative if it is not working for you.

Thx For your answer David but I know how to use it but it disables my Alt+Number key button for example I cannot write "#" – Project Mayhem – 2014-10-07T13:51:29.067

@ProjectMayhem "#" is "shift"+"3" not "alt"+"3" ? – DavidPostill – 2014-10-07T13:56:32.923

I am not using Netherland keyboard dude :) – Project Mayhem – 2014-10-10T06:56:16.553

I'm not either. US keyboard here. What keyboard are you using? – DavidPostill – 2014-10-10T06:58:13.613

Turkish keyboard, just buttons place are different, this shouldn't cause the problem. – Project Mayhem – 2014-10-10T07:10:22.700
