Hi,
I recently switched to Manjaro and noticed that the hardware play/pause, rewind/skip keys don’t work in some specific apps like Spotify(flatpak) and browser too. It works fine in VLC though. It also used to work in Spotify on Kubuntu 20.04. Is there a way to mark and enable applications to accept media keys input or something like that so I can use them in Spotify again?
Would appreciate it a lot if anyone can help.
Here’s my inxi output if that’s helpful:
