Title: KDE Global Keyboard Shortcut
Post by: b8ll on May 19, 2018, 06:18:28 pm

I'm evaluating MediaCenter 24 on Manjaro KDE Plasma and can't seem to get the media keys ( play/pause/back/forward ) on my Microsoft keyboard to work when MediaCenter is not focused.  MediaCenter doesn't seem to expose any entries in KDE Global Shortcuts like Amarok does.  I tried to create a custom Resource.xml but none of the key names I could think of worked ( note: I also tried key codes, e.g. 164 ).

Is there a way to get this working?

Welcome to the forum.  Please try a Google search for "media keys jriver".

Our wiki topic has links to a couple of threads:

MC has a Media Keys option that controls behavior.  The options page has a search window.  They may not work on Linux.
