Bluetooth headphone controls act as keys in some apps. #29

Hi, I have really strange bug: when Bluetooth headphones are connected and I use their controls with EPKL enabled, in all apps with text fields (VSCode, Notepad, VLC, etc.), Play/Pause outputs "g", Previous outputs "q", and Next outputs ";" but volume controls work normally. I am using a pair of Sony WH-H9000Ns and don't have any other Bluetooth headphones to test with but the media keys on my keyboard do the same. Is this a problem with EPKL itself, my layout or settings (which don't seem to do anything special with these keys), or Windows.

I've noticed that too with my Samsung Earbuds, sometimes a tap sends a key stroke. Is it happening only with EPKL on? I wasn't aware of that. It seems to me that some headphones do send odd stuff to the input stream. Unfortunately it can be impossible to determine where it came from as the Windows input stream doesn't contain source tags for events. I'm really not sure what can be done about it, sorry.
