Hey. On my new T60 i can see the shortcuts of function key plus an arrow key that should represent "next track" "prev track" "stop" and "play".

But how do i use those shortcuts? How can i get them working for iTunes for example? It would be a very comfortable solution if i could get it working.

Also tried searching the forum but didn't find a the right thread (if there is one)

Thank you.

Are you also pressing the blue Fn function key when you press any of the four cursor keys to activate the media playback controls? If not, that's most likely why they aren't working.

FYR: The Blue Fn key is located on the left (1st key) bottom row of your keyboard.

Yes, i did use the function key. What i found out is that this only works when iTunes is the active window. How would i get it working globally? Do i need a special application for that?
