Hi!
I can assign the MediaPlay custom key in amarok in the global shortcuts (i.e. when I click on "None" option and then use the "MediaPlay" key it is accepted.
However either the application never receives the key or it ignores it. I tried other apps and had the same results.
Random guess: Are these keys on a laptop?
Because I can reproduce this with the keys on my laptop: I cannot test the MediaPlay key but the EMail and WWW key. I can assign both to a corespondent action, but this is never triggered. However using the EMail key from an external keyboard works.
There is also a bug report for this (from someone else): http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=586583
Hi Christian, Thanks for the info. Yes it's a laptop : Dell XPS1330. I've remapped the play key and it now works !
$ xmodmap -e "keycode 172 = yen"
and then assigned my new yen key to play music successfully !
You can use xev to key the keycode.
Weird. This worked, however when I reboot (or restarted the session) the assigment of the Yen key press to the Amarok media play action caused the "y" ( lowercase Y character) to not give me any input where expected, but not being interrupted as a Yen character either.
