Easy-peasy! (edited)

Hi, Deni - As hard as it is to pick a favorite feature of Instant Text when they're all magical, I have to confess that Snippets and Pick Lists are, indeed, my favorite feature. You will LOVE the way they work in IT9, once you get the hang of them, as Emmanuel as taken them to a whole new level of magic!

Here's what you do to get your volume commands to repeat in IT:

Step 1:

Option 1: Edit your shell #Snippets glossary (found in your "root" glossary folder to add a new entry.

OR

Option 2: Create a new Snippets glossary just for GearPlayer commands. I, too, use (many) IT commands to assist with hotkey commands for all my media players, and I have separate glossaries for each app because some apps. Whenever possible, I use the same commands for the same features for all the apps, but there are a few cases where that is not an option, and many cases where some features are available in some apps and not others. So it makes it easier to manage all the commands by having them in separate glossaries. I also do that for other snippets that are not related to media players.

If you create a Snippet glossary just for GearPlayer, I suggest naming it GearPlayer Snippets, and you need to store it in the default #Snippets folder. Then you would add it as an Includes to the shell #Snippets glossary when needed. I hope that makes sense.

Step 2. Add two new entries. You can name them Vol-Up and Vol-Down or something similar. They will simply include the commands {Ctrl Alt F10} and {Ctrl Alt F9}, respectively, and the Display text should indicate Volume Up and Volume Down, respectively.

Step 3: As in Step 1 above, you will either add two new entries in your "main" glossary or add a new entry in a custom GearPlayer glossary (if you use other media players that require different commands for Volume Up/Down) and Include that glossary in your main glossary as needed.

Step 4. In the new entry window, click on Command, Snippet, SnippetLoop. Choose one of your new Snippet entries. Add whatever short you want to use (I use vu and vd for mine) for the entry, and add the appropriate Display text. Repeat for the other entry.

Now, with GearPlayer loaded (and audio playing, of course), try out your new entry. Type vu (or whatever your short is), then use your marker key to keep increasing the volume. Rinse-and-repeat for vd (or whatever your short is for Volume Down).

If I've missed anything or am off-kilter, I'm sure Emmanuel or Marianne will chime in to let us know. But this should work just fine. Let us know!

EDITED TO ADD:

1. You can also find more details about this feature in the Help menu. Just click on the ?, select Contents, then type "loop" in the search bar to find links to the Snippets and SnippetLoop feature.

2. You may already know this, but for the benefit of those who don't, once you trigger the loop, you don't have to press the marker key each time. You can just hold it down for as long as you want or need to to get the desired amount of repeats. It's very handy for features like volume control!
