Spotify shortcuts in KDE
This is how you can assign a global keyboard-shortcut to play/pause spotify in KDE:
- Open System Settings -> Custom Shortcuts.
- Add a new Group called something like “Spotify Shortcuts”.
- Add a new Global Shortcut -> D-Bus Command.
- Note that the group and shortcut is disabled by default. You need to enable it by ticking the select-box to the right of the name of the group (might need to scroll horizontally).
- Set a Keyboard-combination in the Trigger tab (e.g. Super+Shift+F5).
- Set the following values in the Action tab:
- Remote application: “org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify”
- Remote object: “/org/mpris/MediaPlayer2”
- Function: “org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause”
