How can I make a hotkey to play/pause music?

0

I used to have a laptop that had a function hotkey to play/pause music when you had a music player (iTunes, mediamonkey). I have a new laptop now, but it doesn't have that hotkey anymore. How can I create a hotkey to play/pause music? (I have a windows 8.1 laptop by the way)

Many players themselves allow you to configure global hotkeys. You could use one of those. – Karan – 2015-06-07T03:42:55.497

  1. Download ZIP (no installer) version of SharpKeys.

  2. Map an unused key (F12 for example) to the Play/Pause Media key and update the registry as follows:

    1

    2

  3. Log off and log back on or reboot. You can optionally also delete the program now if you don't require it any longer.
