I’m struggling to get my media keys working on Fedora. I generally use YouTube Music as a PWA through Chromium, so that I can open it separately with its own desktop entry. The dream is that I would be able to play/pause/skip music using the f4-f6 keys, but I have had little luck. It certainly seems like applications recognize these keys (when I try to bind a keyboard shortcut in XFCE, it recognizes the play/pause key as a valid key, for example).
In the past, I’ve used the StreamKeys Chromium extension to get global hotkeys working, but it seems that extension has stopped working (and/or has been hijacked? There’s some drama on its issue tracker I haven’t followed too closely). I also tried using chrome://flags/#hardware-media-key-handling
, but to no avail.
Has anyone gotten this working?
