Support for multimedia keys?

Open elkarrde opened this issue 13 years ago • 3 comments

Is it possible to assign various multimedia keys to keySharky? For example, a lot of keyboard already have Play/Pause, Next, Previous and similar keys, it would be great if one could map these keys to control GrooveShark actions.

Hi, well you could try using keySharky HTTP API to trigger play, pause from external software that could catch those keypreses. But sadly non of browsers can do it (as far as have searched). What OS you there?

Yeah, it seems no browsers can catch multimedia keys - at least on my 64-bit Debian Linux. Thank you for the suggestion, I'll dig a bit about that, it's good idea that might work well.

SharkZapper provides this functionality through a bit of a hack. A url is opened that points to the extension's command (three commands are available.) For more info on that approach, see: https://github.com/adammw/sharkzapper/wiki
