For Windows: process WM_APPCOMMAND messages

[Mercury048]

Are they global?

It is my understanding that messages get sent to the active window only. Global hotkeys would require something like a system hook (either a message hook or a keyboard hook). I may be wrong though.

ETA: Well, you definitely fixed the problem of messages getting eaten. Thanks! Still, nothing happens with the play/pause/stop buttons... Any plans to get this running? Is it easy from what you've seen?

You can send WM_APPCOMMAND as broadcast messages or target one specific window with postmessage or with sendmessage, I assume some software do that or someone might want to do that. And WM_APPCOMMAND stuff would in some extent work like VLC hotkeys so if user want to prevent hotkeys completely, there should be option for that.

Should be trivial for some keys. If nothing super bad happens to me, I will add some keys on Wednesday to QT4 and Skins2 interface.

I see. I guess a checkbox somewhere can't hurt.

Awesome!

I have to consult mailing list about these additions. There is too much code duplication if I just copy&paste same stuff to both GUIs.

[Mercury048]

Dump the shared code into a function and call it from both GUIs?
Sorry but what's the problem here?

I am gonna take shortcut told me in mailinglist and abuse hotkeys. I will hopefully post QT4 version today. It seems that something broke skins2, so there will be delay for it.
EDIT:
AARRGRGHHH, I don't know how I can smuggle p_intf inside to winEventFilter( MSG *msg, long *result ) because there isn't getIntf()
