QuickPlay Button Remapper - configure your QuickPlay buttons the way you want them!

[Mats]

The Calculator key could be trouble, being a system key it could also launch Calculator besides the app you choose. If that happens let me know.

Exactly my thought, but actually no!
When I configured the calculator button it only started what I had choosed, not the calculator too.
After disabling it the button became useless, but after a reboot it launched calculator again.
In other words, it worked well! Thanks again!

The Quick Launch buttons I have are present on lots of HP business laptops, at least five generations,
including the first generation Pentium M laptops. It's usually the 17" models only that have the calculator button.

Real nice then. I'll update the app to fix that "ERROR" message and it's going for an official release i guess.

Edit: Updated.

A bit offtopic, is it possible to disable the quick launch buttons from turning on the computer? ie: pressing "dvd" when the computer is off turns it on..

maybe bios edit?

[Th3_uN1Qu3]

Yes, BIOS editing is pretty much the only way it could be done. But since i don't mind it, i won't take the risk. A couple extra power buttons are never a bad thing.

Program updated! Some cosmetic improvements, and it now has its own website! Check it out at http://www.quickplay.hostzi.com !

Gonna try this on my HDX Dragon (it has a whole long row of these buttons). I'm especially interested in getting the DVD eject button working again - it stopped working once QuickPlay was removed.

I'll report back.

Wait, so you mean there is no eject button on the DVD drive itself? This program is only meant to enable launching of other applications (executables) using the QuickPlay keys, it can't do system functions such as eject. Of course, i remember there was an exe that ejected the DVD drive...

Anyway, if you need the eject functionality i will try and add it.

There is a mechanical eject button on the drive itself of course but there's also a nicely lit soft button on the HP laptop itself. It only worked when QuickPlay was installed (so I suspect they map that button to a little executable). I'd like to be able to use that soft button (along with the DVD controls) that controlled QuickPlay. Since I'm now using Windows Media Center (far superior to QP in W7 RTM), I'm hoping to map those functions across somehow. Does this make sense?

[Th3_uN1Qu3]

Yes it does. Please see this post and if any keys happen to be different on your model and not work with the current version of QPRemapper, then please run that program, press the keys and post the output, obviously along with info about what key produces what code.

AutoHotkey can perform the system eject function so it won't be a problem adding it.

Super... I'll get those keycodes back to you tomorrow!

Well it appears that the buttons I want to program aren't part of the Function keyset (i.e. touching them didn't generate any codes). The only keys that generated codes were the CTRL/Function keys. Perhaps that's because the HP Quickkeys software was intercepting the rest.
