^{Originally posted by **LinArcX** August 17, 2022} I want handle music position via pleryctl. This is what I've done so far: ``` command_forward_music = playerctl position 5+ binding_forward_music = KEY_NEXTSONG command_backward_music = playerctl position 5- binding_backward_music = KEY_PREVIOUSSONG ``` But it's not working. Any idea?

I have a similar problem: I set different actions for KEY_NEXTSONG, KEY_NEXTSONG, KEY_NEXTSONG, but command bound to KEY_NEXTSONG always fires even when pressing with modifiers. wayfire 0.7.4

-event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +0.000s   KEY_RIGHTSHIFT (54) pressed
-event16  KEYBOARD_KEY            +2.328s   KEY_NEXTSONG (163) pressed
 event16  KEYBOARD_KEY            +2.376s   KEY_NEXTSONG (163) released
-event7   KEYBOARD_KEY            +3.543s   KEY_RIGHTSHIFT (54) released

But wayfire behaves as if only KEY_NEXTSONG was pressed. Same with KEY_PREVIOUSSONG

Do you have a binding with just KEY_NEXTSONG? If you do, any other binding with the key won't work just because that's how wayfire currently works ig. WCM shows a warning about that.

yes

binding_media_next = KEY_NEXT | KEY_NEXTSONG
binding_media_ff = <shift> KEY_NEXT | <shift> KEY_NEXTSONG
binding_media_ff_more = <ctrl> KEY_NEXT | <ctrl> KEY_NEXTSONG

I do not see any warnings in ouptut. Is this limitation specific for multimeda keys? Because I can set different modifiers on other keys.

You should use wcm to pick the bindings to make sure you are binding the correct keys. There will be no warnings in log output.
