Media keys shortcuts for AutoHotkey

This script must be used with the AutoHotkey application to emulate media buttons, considering that your keyboard does not have them.

  • Ctrl+Alt+← sends Previous
  • Ctrl+Alt+↓ sends Play/Pause
  • Ctrl+Alt+→ sends Next
  • Ctrl+Shift+Alt+← sends Volume Down
  • Ctrl+Shift+Alt+↓ sends Mute
  • Ctrl+Shift+Alt+→ sends Volume Up

There are two files below:

  • For AHK v1.X: MediaKeys.ahk
  • For AHK v2.X: MediaKeys_v2.ahk

Credits to przemoc Superuser's answer.

To run this script when Windows starts, put MediaKeys.ahk file into C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder, make sure that AHK is installed and be happy!
