How do I send the Windows key for Mute, Vol Up/Down, etc?
Using these keys would allow programs that display a volume on screen display to work. By updating the soundcard directly it does change the volume but without the OSD.
This site shows Mute is AD and Meedio shows 173, same value in decimal.

If I try {Volume_Mute} it says it's undefined. If I use {173} it sends the keys 1 7 3.

Currently these constants are not defined in the parser. I will add them in the next release as "VolumeUp", "VolumeDown" and "VolumeMute".
You can currently use a simple PythonScript for this as a workaround:
This one is for VolumeMute. Just change the first parameter of both lines to the other constants to get the remaining keys.

Code: Select all
import win32api
win32api.keybd_event(173,0,0,0)
win32api.keybd_event(173,0,2,0)
