Or any other media function for that matter?
I used to use # + arrow keys, but now they move windows. Tried control + windows + arrow keys, now they control virtual desktops.
Must work on a laptop keyboard (No numpad), and not rely on appskey, or override an existing key combination.
What is your hotkey to increase the volume?
Re: What is your hotkey to increase the volume?
Now I have a keyboard with special keys for that but here is my code before I had it:
It was convenient for me to use it with my thumb on the windows key and the pinky finger pressing on the other buttons.
Code: Select all
>#Pause::Volume_Mute
>#PgUp::Volume_Up
>#PgDn::Volume_Down
Re: What is your hotkey to increase the volume?
I have a magic InputBox that pops up when I press win+f, that does a lot of things. Then I type things in like v0, v30, v50, v100, vmax, to set the volume, it sets it and shows me a little Progress window saying something like 'VOLUME 50%'.
I use the arrow keys in something like Media Player Classic or YouTube. M to toggle mute in YouTube, ctrl+m to toggle mute in Media Player Classic.

Re: What is your hotkey to increase the volume?
I don't really use a hotkey, I use more of a user area. If I use the scrollwheel on the taskbar, it would change the volume accordingly.

Re: What is your hotkey to increase the volume?
Hi Delta Pythagorean, that's a pretty cool idea. I've tried it and it works pretty well, I tried: if the cursor is over a title bar or over the taskbar, it sets the volume. Realistically though, if I was to use this regularly, I would probably make it trigger if on the left/right edges of the screen, it's easier to scroll left/right than up/down, although, I'd want to avoid interference with other programs.
I have been thinking it would be good to make more use of the mouse with AutoHotkey, perhaps I might get a mouse with extra buttons. I use the middle mouse button to open links in a new tab (ctrl+click), and right-click the Minimise button to minimise to the system tray.
