mpower Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Hi everyone, I've quickly slapped together a Keyboard short-cut tray script that controls Spotify using Numpad keys but for some reason the Space key (HotKey numpad 5) and the Ctrl + Shift + Down (HotKey numpad divide) combinations are not working. All others are working fine.The list of Spotify keyboard shortcuts is here: https://support.spotify.com/is/learn-more/faq/#!/article/Keyboard-shortcutsI have tested them all manually using my keyboard and they all work fine. But when the script is sending the two above keys the app doesnt seem to detect them.Here's the entire code (it's a pretty simple script):expandcollapse popupHotKeySet("{NUMPAD4}", "PreviousSong") HotKeySet("{NUMPAD6}","NextSong") HotKeySet("{NUMPADADD}","CurrentSong") HotKeySet("{NUMPADSUB}","CloseApp") HotKeySet("{NUMPADDIV}","Mute") HotKeySet("{NUMPAD8}","VolumeUp") HotKeySet("{NUMPAD2}","VolumeDown") HotKeySet("{NUMPAD5}","PlayPause") While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd Func PlayPause() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "{space}") ConsoleWrite("Play/Pause"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func NextSong() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "^{right}") ConsoleWrite("Next song"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func PreviousSong() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "^{left}") ConsoleWrite("Previous song"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func CurrentSong() Local $song = WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]") TrayTip("", $song, 1) ConsoleWrite("Current song name: "&$song&@CRLF) EndFunc Func Mute() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "^+{down}") ConsoleWrite("Mute"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func VolumeUp() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "^{up}") ConsoleWrite("VolumeUp"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func VolumeDown() ControlSend(WinGetTitle("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]"), "", "", "^{down}") ConsoleWrite("VolumeDown"&@CRLF) EndFunc Func CloseApp() Exit EndFuncHelp would be appreciated Edited August 7, 2015 by mpower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidLago Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Hello.It seems that this is a issue in the new versions of Spotify. For some reason, the space key being sent to it doesn't work. I also tried with AutoHotKey (which is sometimes better than AutoIT for some things) and it also works with EVERYTHING BUT the space key to play/pause.It really sucks that Spotify didn't think about creating global hotkeys yet. Or maybe they can't do it because its so diffucult that even they won't override it hahaha!Another alternative is Toastify, but its so freaking slow... When you press the key, it takes up to 20 seconds sometimes just to pause/play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphotic Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Hey Guys sorry for the bump, I'd say this is maybe recent enough I was looking for a way to pause Spotify using my mouse keys while working inside a VMware machine. I came up with this to do it. You could use hotkeyset or have your mouse launch the exe if it can. ;~ HotKeySet("+^!'", "ToggleSpotify") ;~ While 1 ;~ WEnd ToggleSpotify() Func ToggleSpotify() Local $w = WinGetHandle("") WinSetState($w, "", @SW_MINIMIZE) WinActivate("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]") Local $s = WinGetPos("[CLASS:SpotifyMainWindow]") Local $m = MouseGetPos() MouseClick("primary", $s[0], $s[1], 1, 1) Send("{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}") WinActivate($w) MouseMove($m[0], $m[1], 1) EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
