  I have a Microsoft Media Keyboard 3000. Is there a way to use the extra keys, 16c for example, to activate a Favorite?

  Hi Dale,
  
  Not using the Customize window. However, you can edit the quickaccesspopup.ini file and enter the scan code there. For example, in the following example:
  
  [Favorites]
  Favorite1=Application|notepad-test|notepad.exe|E:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office16\EXCEL.EXE,1||||1|||||0|0|0|||||+^n||||20200330184547|20200408193121||0|0|0|
  
  replace the shortcut code "+^n" with the scan code "SC120" (for the Mute key on my keyboard). This is tricky but this will work.
  
  I added an item in the wishlist to allow entering scan codes from the "Change shortcut" dialog box.
  
  Thanks,
  
  Jean

  This (so old) item is being tested in this beta release
  https://forum.quickaccesspopup.com/showt...p?tid=2010
  
  - in "Change shortcut" dialog box, add link to enter a hotkey code or a scan code (SCnnn) manually
