Keyboard shortcuts for using Discord Music bots
Instal AutoHotKey from AutoHotKey's website.
Download the .ahk files and execute the one which corresponds to your type of keyboard.
- If your keyboard has a Numeric Keypad, execute the discord_music_bot_hotkeys_numpad.ahk file.
- If your keyboard does not have a Numeric Keypad, execute the discord_music_bot_hotkeys_f1.ahk file.
Change your Discord "Toggle Overlay Lock" keybind to CTRL + SHIFT + TAB: Example Image
That is already enough to use the keybinds, as listed here:
- help = Ctrl + h
- connect = Ctrl + Enter
- disconnect = Ctrl + Backspace
- pause = Ctrl + up
- resume = Ctrl + down
- next = Ctrl + right
- back = Ctrl + left
- Customizable sounds = Ctrl + Numpad digit OR Ctrl + F1-F9
In order to customize the shortcut sounds, you need to right click the .ahk file and click on "Edit Script": Example Image
Then find the "^Numpad" blocks of text coresponding to the key you want to reassign and replace the ";INSERT LINK HERE" text with the audio link you want assigned in that key (youtube, spotify, etc): Example Image
After you have finished setting up your keybinds, just run the .ahk file again.
To stop your computer from recognizing the keybindings, just finish the AutoHotKey execution from your Task manager or from the arrow in your taskbar: Example Image
