I used to have a laptop that had a function hotkey to play/pause music when you had a music player (iTunes, mediamonkey). I have a new laptop now, but it doesn't have that hotkey anymore. How can I create a hotkey to play/pause music? (I have a windows 8.1 laptop by the way)

  • Many players themselves allow you to configure global hotkeys. You could use one of those.

  1. Download ZIP (no installer) version of SharpKeys.

  2. Map an unused key (F12 for example) to the Play/Pause Media key and update the registry as follows:

  3. Log off and log back on or reboot. You can optionally also delete the program now if you don't require it any longer.
