Block global hotkeys from another apps

Post by VarunAgw »

Hi,

It's kind of both for me. Both a feature request and an issue. My left side of keyboard hotkeys are dedicated to media. One of them is Ctrl+Shift+A/S for skip/forward 5 seconds.

Problem is most of the applications also use Ctrl+Shift+S for "Save all" for some other feature, which gets annoying. If I skip 5 times, now I have to deal with those dialog several times.

Is it possible to fix it?

I am also a big AutoHotkey fan. I try to fix it, but I failed (doesn't work if it's in tray icon). If anyone can help me with it, it would be huge help!

^+s::ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^+s, ahk_exe MediaMonkey.exe

P.S Ich ❤ MediaMonkey (using since like 7 years)

Unfortunately if MMW is in background than Windows controls who receive hotkey press for handling.
