Hotkeys: Not exactly a bug, but it's damn weird.

Post by Brian Siano »

I set up some hotkeys for my Media Monkey. Specifically, I've set up Control-W to refresh my podcasts. Works great.

The thing is, I've set up the Control-W hotkey under Firefox, to close the current browsing window. And here's the strange part.

I'm running both Firefox and Media Monkey. I'm in Firefox, and I hit Control-W to close a window. But it _also_ makes Media Monkey start updating my podcasts. And if I close a bunch of windows in Firebox using Control-W, I find that Media Monkey's running an equal number of podcast updates. This hasn't created any severe problems, but ti's very odd.

I've tried this with another MM hotkey. I set up Control-Q to "Auto-Tag from Filename." But if I hit Control-Q within Firefox, it doesn't have any effect in MM.

Is it set to be a global hotkey?
