Dragonwindspirit Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I am just curious, are there any mods available that allow you to connect and control windows media player or Itunes directly while playing skyrim? I usually use one or the other while playing but have found that for some reason Skyrim disables my access to my media player hotkeys (these hot keys are seperate from standard keyboard keys and are arrayed on the top edge of my keyboard above my F-keys). As I don't listen to skyrim's music, and have over a terrabyte of my own I prefer to listen too instead, and don't want to be forced to clutter up my computer with copies of my music reformatted to skyrims audio format, this becomes somewhat of a nuisance when I need to mute music for a minute to hear a cutscene conversation and can't because my hotkeys are disabled by the game (seriously, wtf would bethesda disable media hotkeys?).So does anybody know of a mod or a work around that will allow acces to my hotkeys w/o having to reformat my music and use skyradio or whatever it is? I really really don't have an extra terrabyte of hard drive space and yes, I listen to ALL my music, depending on my mood at the time.~DWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonwindspirit Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 From the deafening silence I am left to assume no such mods or some type of work around is available. Bummer. Ah well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17202/?It might do the trick. I've not used it so I can't say much about it. But while the description page doesn't say much, the comments seem to indicate that it allows usage of multimedia related hotkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched the Nexus for over three hours trying to find something like that.... Thanks for finding it. You rock. I'm going to try this and see if that is the fix for my needs. I'll respond here once I know if it worked for me or not *crosses fingers*. *edit* OHHH YEASSSSSSSS It worked! Fricking Five Fingered Flaming Fantastic! Thank you SOOO very much for finding this for me. *loads Ozzy* Time to play! Muahahahahaa (yeah yeah I am totally a dork :tongue:). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRioteer Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 you could mash at the shift key and pop up that warning about sticky keys. I use it to minimize the game and check the wiki when i need to. Oh, and you'll have to mash again to get back into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noortje Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Lol. Alt tabbing Skyrim is a bad idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
