keyboard shortcuts - Mac OSX DDHotKey for Play/FF/Rewind Buttons -


i'm working on osx app ddhotkeycenter control youtube/pandora song playbacks , use mac play/pause, rewind, , ff buttons; however, seem accessible calling function key mapped (e.g., 'play' button maps f8, user has hit "fn"+play/f8 button). ideally, i'd user able hit play instead of having combo.

is there way hook play/rewind/ff buttons without f8 keys? creative solutions welcome! i'm coming ios background osx bit new me..

thanks!

whether hardware buttons require use of "fn" key or not controlled user preferences. see system preferences > keyboard pane > keyboard tab > use f1, f2, etc. keys standard function keys. if checked, f8 key produces key event for, well, f8 key. in order access hardware function (e.g. play/pause), user has hold down "fn".

if preference setting not checked, behavior reversed. f8 key play/pause default , user has hold down "fn" key event.

by way, third-party keyboards can't access hardware functions in same way apple keyboards do. so, don't write app depends on them being available.

the hardware functions can't trapped hot keys. intercepted @ low level keyboard driver. have vague recollection of very hacky approach hijacking them, won't work treat them hot keys.

so, you're finding you're able set f8 hot key app's functions, but, since preference settings configured f8 key event generated when press fn+f8, have use combo. pressing f8 key generating hardware function operation not visible key event.
