I've asked this question at the litestep.net forum but I didn't get any help so I'm trying my luck here instead.
How do I get the keyboard multimedia keys to work with LS? I've tried both jKey and AnyKey but I can't get it to work. I get this error messages when I try to use either of them. Can't remember exactly what the messages say, since I'm not using LS right now, but it has something to do with the button keycode in the vk104.txt... I think.
Anyone who might know what's wrong?

Use scankey to get your keycode, then follow these steps (This was posted by that horrible xcal person at Litestep.net.)
Here's an example for my MS Multimedia keyboard's volume up key.
1. Open your vk104.txt file in your \Litestep\personal\jkey folder.
2. On its own line, add:
WOOT , VkCode
For example, my volume up's vkcode is 000000AF. Of course, you want the name (WOOT above) to be something sensible, so I use VolumeUp. So this is what it looks like for me:
VolumeUp , 000000AF
(Or AF for short works, too.)
3. Make a hotkey for it.
*Hotkey .none VolumeUp !BangCommand
Note: *hotkey is used instead of *jkey when jKeyUseHotkeyDef is defined (which it is by default).
That's it. When I use the volume up key on my keyboard, it uses the 000000AF code, which points to VolumeUp. So whatever !BangCommand you have defined is fired.
