Describe the bug Hi I'm using strawberry on Ubuntu mate 20.04, but multimedia keyboards don't work. Strawberry does not detect them even in the settings. The keyboard is a Coolermaster deveastador. In linux key settings and clementine it detects multimedia keys but not in strawberry.

If what you mean is that the "Change shortcut" in Settings / Global Shortcuts does not work for the media keys either. Then another program is capturing the media keys and preventing strawberry from capturing them. This can happen if a program is using XGrabKey() and does not properly release them. Because the "Change shortcut" does not filter any specific keys, it accepts all that it receives. I don't think this is a bug at all. Try a reboot, and start no other programs than strawberry and check if it works. Also make sure that the "Use Gnome (GSD) shortcuts when available" is checked in the settings. But the "Change shortcut" should work independent of what backend is used.

Hi! Yes, I thought so, but the multimedia keys don't work during playback either. Accept anything other than the multimedia buttons in the settings. When you start the strawberry by standing on the player list and pressing the play button, all that happens is that the letters of the name of the track you want to play will be brighter, but playback will not start. The x11 keys are turned on.

Maybe the X11 based global shortcuts could be causing issues on Mate. I realize now that Mate is using a different interface name, so the standard Gnome SettingsDaemon MediaKeys interface won't register on Mate like it does on Gnome and Cinnamon, even though it's the same thing just under a different name. I added native shortcuts for Mate, if you try the newest build from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/, there should be an additional option to enable mate shortcuts. Disable X11 and enable Mate in the settings, save the settings, and do a reboot of the machine just in case.

Hi! That's how it works. Thanks! kép
