Custom hot keys are easy in MacOS settings menu. Even easier is the free app Hotkey! https://codenuts.de/en/posts/hotkey/ https://codenuts.de/en/posts/hotkey/
- MithrilTuxedo 5y agoIt seems like an oversight to have a physical backlit button with play/pause icons on it taking up space on the mac keyboard that can't be generally used to play/pause applications. It's like making TVs you can install arbitrary applications on, but shipping them with remotes with branded buttons to open one or two specific preinstalled applications.

- vonseel 4y ago> Custom hot keys are easy in MacOS settings menu. I use this feature all the time. Unfortunately, lately there seems to be a goblin in my system that's occasionally going in and deleting App Shortcuts for a specific app and I have to re-create them. Any ideas? I was thinking the app was getting updated or something like that so Mac forgets the settings.
