    How can i add media keys & keyboard shortcuts to the right-click menu?


    I want to control my music from the right-click context menu using play/pause, next, previous and stop... is this possible? I also wouldn't mind adding some keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+F, and Ctrl+Alt+Delete.

    :)

    Shortcut Key for Items Pinned to Start?

    Thanks Mohammed.

    Maybe I wasn't clear. I know how to create shortcuts. But once a shortcut is added to Start as a 'tile', how does one add shortcut keystrokes?

    To see what I mean, open Windows Explorer and right click on a shortcut. Select Properties. In "Shortcut Key" you can add hot keys to launch the shortcut.

    How do you get to that same place with a tile shortcut in Start?

  3. 1,2,3 hotkeys

    Hi,





    Hotkeys are keyboard shortcuts that you can use as an alternative to what you typically do with a mouse. You may perform these steps to assign a hotkey to an application, and to a folder and file:

    Assign a hotkey to an application:

    • Open Start Menu.
    • Find the application, right-click on it > More > Open File Location.
    • Right-click on the application > Properties.
    • On the Shortcut tab, enter the keys you want to use in the Shortcut key box. Windows will add "Ctrl + Alt", however if you'll choose to use a function key or a numeric key, "Ctrl + Alt will not be added.
    • Click OK.

    Assign a hotkey to a folder or file:

    • Create a file or folder shortcut.
    • Right-click the shortcut file > Properties.
    • On the Shortcut tab, enter the keys you want to use in the Shortcut key box. Windows will add "Ctrl + Alt", however if you'll choose to use a function key or a numeric key, "Ctrl + Alt will not be added.
    • Click OK.

    How can i add media keys & keyboard shortcuts to the right-click menu?

    I couldn't find a way to do it.
    Keyboard Media Keys or customized mouse controls is my answer.
