[Issue] Media keys stopped working

[Captn138]

Describe the bug The STOP, NEXT and PREVIOUS media keys do not work while using the g910-gkeys driver.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. systemctl --user start g910-gkeys
2. I was messing with my keyboard shortcuts in Gnome, so in Settings, Keyboard, View and customize shortcuts
3. Try to remap a function with the aformentioned keys
4. Doesn't work
5. systemctl --user stop g910-gkeys
6. Test again
7. Works

Expected behavior The keys should work as they do without the driver.

Additional info

• I also tested on some media players like Spotify, Celluloid and Lollipop.
• Althought I explained how I saw that bug, I do not know for how long this has been around, since I never used the media keys apart from PLAY/PAUSE.

• desktop enviroment Gnome 45.2 on Wayland

I can verify the Problem and already found the Solution. The Problem is a wrong uinput key code in data_mappers/supported_devices.py.

KEY_PREVIOUS needs to be KEY_PREVIOUSSONG and KEY_NEXT needs to be KEY_NEXTSONG KEY_STOP needs to be KEY_STOPCD

I already tried it with a local rebuild and it works. I'll try to release a new version with the fix in a few days.

Thanks for reporting @Captn138

I released version 0.4.2 with the fix.

Just download the new version and use the uninstall and install script to update and all media keys should work fine.
