From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use Kubuntu 24.04. My keyboard has working media playback keys. When I listen to music and a video starts playing, I want to pause the music. It usually pauses the video which i could also pause easily in other ways. Is it possible to write a script that toggles through the other media playing processes in terms of coupling them to the media keys?

That looks promising, thank you.
