    As a somewhat related thing that others might find useful, here are my shortcuts to get my Varmilo keyboard media keys working with useful functions instead of the default stuff. I’ve got these set up as custom shortcuts in KDE, but they should work in any context:

    Next track

    dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Next

    Previous track

    dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.Previous

    Play-pause toggle

    dbus-send --print-reply --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause

    You can replace Spotify in the destination parameter with any MPRIS-capable program. To find out what’s available on the dbus and get the exact name, use this command:

    dbus-send --session --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
