+# virtual-media-keys
+
+Some [AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com/) scripts meant for people with
+keyboards without media keys. These scripts intercept some hotkeys and
+send media keys in their place.
+
+There are currently two flavors: arrow keys and navigation keys. The first
+one binds to the arrow keys, while the second one binds to navigation
+keys.
+
+| Command | Arrows | Navigation |
+|---------|--------|------------|
+| Play/pause | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>↑</kbd><br/><kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>↓</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>PgUp</kbd><br/><kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>PgDn</kbd> |
+| Previous | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>←</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Home</kbd> |
+| Next | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>→</kbd> | <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>End</kbd> |
+
+## Running / compiling
+
+The scripts can be executed directly using
+[AutoHotkey](https://autohotkey.com/). It also allows for compiling the
+scripts. Binary files attached to releases have been modified to use the
+complete icon set.
