I'm trying to add a Cmd+MediaNextTrack shortcut to this app I'm building.
Combined shortcuts (like e.g. Cmd+Shift+Space) seem to work fine in my Electron app.
I am aware of the Security & Privacy / Accessibility setting that needs to be enabled for MediaNextTrack to be accessible. It's enabled locally; the following code works:
let successfullyRegistered = globalShortcut.register('MediaNextTrack', async () => {
console.log("==> activated.")
});
and it actually takes over any "next track" action from Spotify and correctly logs to console.
Also the successfullyRegistered boolean returns as true.
However if I change that code to:
let successfullyRegistered = globalShortcut.register('Cmd+MediaNextTrack', async () => {
console.log("==> activated.")
});
The console is no longer activated.
But successfullyRegistered is true.
And globalShortcut.isRegistered("Cmd+MediaNextTrack") returns true as well.
Various variations of Cmd don't work either: Command+MediaNextTrack, CommandOrControl+MediaNextTrack don't work either.
Question
Is there another way to activate that command + next track shortcut in the app?
