I just don't like (subjective ofc) having media keys behind a layer/modifier! I don't see the need to touch type play/pause or up/down volume.

It looks like they could be fixed as the bridge code is open source. For example here is an issue around messages being split incorrectly: https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/1...

This is one of the primary benefits of a messaging client that uses Matrix [1], if one app becomes undesirable there are dozens of compatible apps! [2] I highly recommend giving Element [3] a try - it's polished and easy for non tech

Adding to this, Element is a great first Matrix client :) Not involved with it, just a very happy user. https://element.io
