What steps will reproduce this issue?

when assigning a multimedia key to the HotKeyBox it will display it with wrong name e.g.
Key.MediaPlayPause > shows like this : http://puu.sh/q3BTW/da94bd8c0d.png

Expected outcome

it should view MediaPlayPause instead of G

Environment

• MahApps.Metro v1.3.0-ALPHA176
• Windows 10
• Visual Studio 2015
• .NET Framework 4.5.2

I can reproduce the issue. However, I don't know how to fix it at the moment. GetKeyNameText just returns G for MediaPlayPause. I'll have to investigate further...

Why not use Key.ToString() instead ? @thoemmi

[thoemmi]

• strings like MediaPlayPause or NumPad0 are not optimal to be presented to the end user
• it wouldn't be localized

Unfortunately, the Windows API can't help. I asked at StackOverflow, and there's no standard way to get the names of special keys such as the media buttons. 😫

[bigworld12]

then maybe create a simple dictionary of Key,string for special keys ,and then we can handle localization later ?
