AutoHotKey/External Application Interface
iTunesControl comes with a program called call-hotkey.exe that can be used to emulate any hotkey. While installed by default in the iTunesControl directory, it will function anywhere as long as iTunesControl is running. To use it, run call-hotkey hotkey-name, where values for hotkey-name are listed below.
The following example shows how to use this feature with AutoHotkey to call the "Show Current Track Info" hotkey when Win+C is pressed, assuming call-hotkey.exe is in the script's working directory.
