It still won't process play/pause or next/previous buttons in any meaningful way.
The browser-hardware barrier arising from hardware makers never wanting to write standards, then never wanting to follow those that exists, never wanting to do anything consistently but loving to write custom buggy windows drivers makes me cry like a baby.
Every keyboard in the last ten years comes with play/pause, next, prev buttons - and the operating system and the browser seems to be horribly not sold on this fact.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoI have a Microsoft Ergononmic Keynoard of some sort, with five buttons labeled 1-5. Guess what I can do with then on my mac? A whole lotta nothin'. I think I can choose to launch an app, but it's literally easier to CMD-SPACE and type it in than to reach for the button. I long for the ability to have those buttons run complex scripts of some kind.

- adient 15y agoThankfully, every keyboard in the last ten years does NOT come with such extraneous buttons.
- guard-of-terra 15y agoSometimes they are software buttons, but they are there. Yes, nobody uses those, because it's extremelly non-trivial due to the problem I outlined.
