I've tried many plugins before this, none of them supports the media buttons found on my keyboard. This does. Great job! Very, very well done.

Would be nice to be able to rate unrated songs without touching the mouse. PS. great plugin! Would it be possible to add “rate 1″, “rate 2″ and so on to KeyControl?

However I had the same confusion as Andrew looking for a play/pause action. Might be nice to rename pause to play/pause. Thank you for your work Paul!

The feature to do that is listed as "PAUSE" in the list of commands. I was pleased to figure this out after messing around with it for a couple of minutes. Suggestion: Maybe re-naming that one or just adding one that says "play/pause" and have it do the same thing as "pause" would be easy enough i imagine.

At least not entirely. The Volume Up, Volume Down and the show/hide winamp keys don't work the ways they are supposed to or don't work at all ( volume up doesnt work at all, volume down lowers it to 40 % and then mutes it and show/hide shows it but doesnt hide it anymore..

I just would like to thank you for some great piece of work! :) I just got a small suggestion. The actions Set Shuffle and Unset Shuffle, might it be able for you to merge them into the action Toggle Shuffle? Would spare me one of my buttons :p Thanks again! Hi.

Thanks for the great plugin!! I've got only two issues: First, could you speed up the volume change? Currently it's about half as fast as the builtin volume change (aprox 4sec end-to-end). (Winamp 2.81 - don't like fancy new ones) Or maybe make it configurable in the ini file :) Second, when using a modifier key (eg CTRL), you've to re-press/hold it also, if you want to make multiple actions. For example multiple NextTrack actions, or Next than Prev (changed your mind :) ) It would be nice, if you didn't need to repress the modifier key, only the normal one, while holding the mod key. Thanks a lot for any help! Hi there!
