Topic: Controlling totalmix with keyboard shortcuts (on the background)?

I just want to be able to mute my speakers with a keyboard shortcut... Is this possible? Seems like it could be done with midi (or OSC) but I can't find an application that converts keyboard shortcuts to midi commands. Has anyone achieved this on windows?
Thanks in advance.

The Elgato Stream Deck is a great tool for adding extra control of TotalMix, and I believe that they have added a virtual onscreen version of this too. It has MIDI and OSC outputs available.

@MC

AFAIK macOS has an API to receive hotkey-events events when the app is in the background too. Would be nice if TotalMIX directly could support this.
