Use WMC Remote #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

It would be great if I could set a WMC remote button as the hotkey to activate 
pause, etc. That is, press pause on the WMC remote and have it pause Spotify.

I tried configuring a WMC remote in spotifycontrol, but it is a mess. The wmc 
remote buttons trigger normal keyboard-shortcuts that are pretty standard like 
CTRL+A, CTRL+P, F8, F10 and stuff like this. You cannot register these as 
global hotkeys as other programs register these for other stuff. It would only 
work as "local" shortcuts that only work while spotifycontrol has focus. This 
can still be useful in case you want to control spotify without a keyboard but 
a remote control (and not use the pc for other stuff while you so this).
