Bug ID: 403636
Summary: Media Pause button doesn't work properly
Product: khotkeys
Version: 5.14.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general

SUMMARY
I have a Bluetooth headset that has media buttons (play/pause, next, previous
and volume up and down). All buttons work, but there's a problem when pressing
the play/pause button: It only works every second time.
That is, I press the button -> music stops; I press again -> nothing happens; I
press again -> music resumes; I press again -> nothing happens.
I found out (using xev) that my headset alternates sending X86AudioPlay and
XF86AudioPause on every press. When XF86AudioPause is sent, nothing happens.
One can say "Yeah, on the Global Shortcuts it's configured to only listen to
Media Play, so you should add Media Pause to it too". Well, were it been that
simple I wouldn't have written this bug report :D
When I replace the shortcut to be Media Pause (or add it as a global
alternative), the shortcut is saved, but nothing happens. That is, the bug
still occurs. When it's added as an alternative, only every second press
pauses/resumes the player. When replacing it with Media Play, the play/pause
button doesn't work at all.
When using xdotool to emulate the keypress it doesn't work either.
I fiddled with the shortcuts a little bit and I found out this problem doesn't
only apply to the media player.
Any shortcut I set the trigger to be Media Pause (XF86AudioPause) doesn't work.
Example: I create a custom shortcut (e.g. open konsole) and set it's trigger to
be Media Pause. It listens to the key press, I can configure the shortcut
properly, but the shortcut itself doesn't work.
When I do the same thing with Media Play (XF86AudioPlay), the shortcut works as
intended (e.g. konsole is opened).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set a shortcut's trigger to be Media Pause (either an existing or a new
shortcut)
2. Press the Media Pause button (or emulate it with xdotool)
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
The shortcut executes its assigned action
