Mdiai Keys - volume / play/pause/next...

[Bob Sneidar]

Whoops! You were talking about media keys of course. I DO get values in a rawKeyUp handler for arrow keys and the others I mentioned. Not for the media keys though. You can just see why. All the other keys are part of a standard ANSI style keyboard. The media keys are not so far as I can tell, as common as it is to have them on a virtually every desktop keyboard these days.

They do not send any kind of ascii code, so LC would have to monitor them differently. Does the insert, home page up and page down buttons return anything? If not then I think that validates the idea that LC is only looking for ASCII style events.
