Receiving keyboard commands when minimised

[Bifurcati]

Hi all,

I've just started playing with QCD, and it seems like a really appealing alternative to Media Player :) One thing though that is bugging me: I have a multimedia keyboard (an Acer, with Stop, Play, FF,RW and Volume control). and when QCD has focus, it receives those commands fine. However, when it loses focus (minimised, etc) it cannot receive them. Windows Media player can detect them whether minimised or not. Is there some way of configuring QCD or my keyboard to always receive those messages? Thanks in advance for your help!

Cheers,
Bifurcati

One alternative is to use the HotKeys plugin, which will accept key commands regardless of minimization. I barely even have to touch the player interface at all because I can do pretty much everything I need with the HotKeys and Jump plug-ins.
