This script sends Windows media key event to the system based on first parameter to the script that gets looked up in a dictionary and mapped to an appropriate command

It is a python script, so you have to have Python3 installed

I use it by having created following shortcuts (.lnk) in my system path

Now I can control music from my non Media Key enabled keyboard by: To play/pause Win+r, p, Enter

To move to next song Win+r, n, Enter

To move to previous/beginning of song Win+r, pp, Enter

Volume Up/Down the same with u & d,

to repeat the command, just do: Win+r, Enter I use it with MS Groove music, but is should work with any decent media player
