Global Hot Key Support?

Post by cm1342 »

Hello, I've successfully hooked up and used a Maschine Mikro MK2 R2 with Midi Key 2 Key on a windows 11 computer.
However, I would like to map a keyboard shortcut to a button that triggers MSI After Burner that has global hot keys set to activate certain GPU fan profiles.
I can map key strokes successfully to work in other programs, but when I map it to trigger a global hotkey it doesn't seem to work. I can verify the key strokes work when using my regular keyboard.
MSI After Burner requires admin priveleges, I've tried running Midi Key2Key as regular user and as an Admin and same results.
Are global hot keys supported with Midi Key 2 Key? If so, any advice?
Thank you!!

All keypresses that MK2K sends are "global". But not every software is regognizing them as stated in the FAQ.
When trying to interact with a software that is launched by a different user, MK2K has to be launched by this user too.
