Hi all, I recently installed Endeavour OS with KDE Plasma, the problem is that the media controller shortcuts are missing.
How can I do to add them to the system?
Thank you.
Is that a screenshot of your system settings? If so click on the Media Controller and set the shortcuts to something else and see if that works.
No, it is a picture taken from the internet, my intent was to show what is missing.
Ok, you may be missing kdeplasma-addons I think
Just tried, kdeplasma-addons is already installed, I tried reinstalling it but nothing.
Hmm, not too sure then. I have it available on my system but unsure if they where there when I did a fresh install or if they came as part of a dependency of something as I don’t use the shortcuts for it.
Can you tell me what it says in the part about media controls in the ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc file?
So that I can put them in my file as well and see if it works.
I am only interested in play/pause, previous and next.
Thanks.

I think this it what you where after. Hope you can get it working.

Now the media controller item has appeared in the settings, but the shortcuts don’t work.
Have you tried changing the shortcuts? I just tried it out and had to change the shortcuts for them to work
Yes, Media playback next: F10, Media playback previous: F8, Play/Pause media playback: F9.
Not too sure what the issue could be then, I used meta+F6 for previous etc
Currently on plasma 6, but I just checked and I still see it in my system settings.
Just upgraded to Plasma 6 and now it works.
