I fixed it. I reinstalled MMW and it started working.

I want to revive this dead thread. Mine is and has been doing the same thing forever. How can I FINALLY get MMW to skip forward and back (and adjust the volume using Up/Down)?

The original OP's request:
With the hotkey definition Playback: Skip 5 Seconds Forward set to right I expect that when I press the right arrow key while MMW is the active window that 5 seconds are skipped in the audio being played. Instead, the file list moves.

Well, how do I get the focus on the player? No matter where I click (above, below, or directly on the timeline bar) the arrow keys move the track listing, not the timeline. I am forced to use the global hotkeys which is very inconvenient.

Hi,
If your view is focused on Track listing main left/right arrow function (browse thru tracklist) will override hotkey.
Try left click anywhere on MMW player that will make player focused not tracklist and then try to use left/right arrows.

With the hotkey definition Playback: Skip 5 Seconds Forward set to right I expect that when I press the right arrow key while MMW is the active window that 5 seconds are skipped in the audio being played. Instead, the file list moves.

Hi,
Can you please give us an example of key that do not work and a steps how you expect them to work.

Global hotkeys work, but local hotkeys do not. how can I activate local hotkeys?
Ver 4.1.1.1836

It seems that only Global hotkeys work on my copy of MM. Local hotkeys seem to have stopped working since I upgraded to 4.1.16

Is there something I'm missing from the upgrade? And before the obvious is asked, yes, there are definitions assigned to local keys...

Thanks
