Bug Description
Many keyboards nowadays come with special keys that allow easy access to certain features of the system. It would make all sorts of sense to link as many of those to actual stuff as possible.
Concerns: keys might be wrongly mapped?
Short-term target: KDS
Mid-term target: upstream
Proposed associations:
Qt::Key_Battery => Battery Plasmoid
Qt::Key_WWW => default web browser
Qt::Key_LaunchMail => default email client
Qt::Key_Help => KHelpCenter
To be considered:
MPRIS (that way working for ever player?)
Qt::Key_MediaPlay => MPRIS PlayPause()
same for Pause and TogglePlayPause
Qt::Key_MediaStop => MPRIS Stop()
Qt::Key_
Qt::Key_MediaNext => MPRIS Next()
Out of scope:
Qt::Key_Eject - usually already wired at either hardware level or handled by udev/other magic
