Global hotkeys in Java

Question

I am trying to create an application that uses global hotkeys, and I got stuck in it for about two days trying to figure this out before deciding on using jintellitype api. I always have a problem when I run the example presented on the Jintellitype website: I can’t download IA 32-bit.dll IA on AMD 64-bit platform, I use 64-bit JRE, 64-bit windows and could not find solution for it: neither on the site / forums, nor when using google.

I am not familiar with working with DLL files and JNI / JNA, but I think that in order for something to work, I have to generate a DLL file and add it to the system folder or just get a ready-made .dll file similar to the one provided by Jintellitype (please correct me if I am wrong).

So what is the main idea of ​​using JIntellitype? How can I solve the problem that I am facing?

I'm not sure what your problem was, and made you look into jintellitype, but you checked this message: Is there a way to get keyboard events without a JFrame?
