[EDIT] Workaround: The command-line program mpris-remote can successfully control Clementine, but not Audacious (it has MPRIS2 plugin, but mpris-remote uses mpris version 1). So for anyone else with this problem, simply assign mpris-remote commands to the keys. If someone more experienced knows why khotkeys itself isn't working I'd appreciate your insight.
________________________________________________________________________ Hi. I'm currently running Debian 8 (Jessie), recently upgraded from 7 (Wheezy). In Wheezy, khotkeys settings in "Global Keyboard Shortcuts" weren't working as they should, but I set the Custom Shortcuts as a command/URL to get my multimedia keys working (play-pause, next, previous, stop). This got them to work perfectly, but when I upgraded to Jessie they ceased functioning. The situation is now that while khotkeys can recognise and assign the media keys, an application like Clementine does not respond to the key presses. Trying to assign the keys in Clementine's own shortcuts preferences doesn't work as the application does not recognise any key press at all with the desired multimedia key. Xev registers the key presses successfully. I have found multiple thread on the Arch Linux forums on this issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103636 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=135735 Here is an example of one of the scripts that I assigned, and was working in Wheezy :
Running the script from the terminal yields:
I have tried installing qdbus-qt5 and qt5-default packages, and still get the same result. The current output from dbus-monitor on key press using the above script:
