Media keys support #122

Closed devkhan closed 8 years ago

devkhan commented 8 years ago

Is it possible to capture media keys e.g. play/pause, next, etc.?

I guess they might be platform specific, but does browsers forward these keys' presses to the webpage?

Unfortunately media keys do not provide events to the browser. You can test it here: http://www.asquare.net/javascript/tests/KeyCode.html

Nevermind, I've solved my problem with this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/streamkeys/ekpipjofdicppbepocohdlgenahaneen

I don't know how it does it, but I guess if this can do it, then maybe there is some way to catch media keys inside the browser (or maybe it's just possible in an extension). Maybe.
