Forward and back keyboard shortcuts no longer working

[BlackEco]

Hello,

It's probably a duplicate of Forward and back keyboard shortcut feature no longer working on Mac, but I cannot longer use Ctrl + Left Arrow and Ctrl + Right Arrow to change tracks on Linux.

The regression seems to have appeared on version 1.1.67.586.gbb5ef64e since I get it working by reverting to version 1.1.55.498.gf9a83c60

OS: Ubuntu, Spotify installed with snap.

Still an issue on version 1.1.68.632.g2b11de83 (both on Flatpak in Fedora and on Ubuntu)

Can't remember with which version these shortcuts stopped working but would really appreciate if ctrl-left and ctrl-right for skipping songs, as well as ctrl-up and ctrl-down to increase or decrease volume while spotify window is selected, could be fixed on linux.

Running pop_os 21.04, spotify flatpak version 1.1.72.439.gc253025e

ctrl+{right,left,up,down} are broken for me in spotify version 1.1.72.439.gc253025e, running on Debian.

Issue still present for me on Arch

[veggiesss]

Still an issue for me on Kubuntu 18.04. Would really love if this got some attention as it's a huge degradation in QoL (and I/we pay for the service).

If you happen to use kde plasma here's a custom shortcuts file that you can import to bring back this functionality.

Ctrl+F for Find/Search has stopped working since 1.1.55.498.gf9a83c60 on flatpak. Please bring it back spotify. it's a must-have.

Still broken in: 1:1.1.72.439.gc253025e

You can download an older version here: https://mint.pkgs.org/19.3/mint-import-amd64/spotify-client_1.1.10.546.ge08ef575-19_amd64.deb.html

Still broken in flatpak 1.1.72.439.gc253025e version, on fedora KDE 34, volumen, ctrl+up/down doesn't work.

[lokulf]

Still on version: 1:1.1.72.439.gc253025e

Running: `spotify --log-file=./spot.log` while tailing the log shows that ctrl+<arrow keys> does not register with the spotify-client. 

ctrl+r/s shows activity in the log.

It's ridiculous that this is still a problem.

Prev, Next, Volume Up/Down with Ctrl keys don't work at all for over a year.

[Pharass]

After last update (1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819) Prev, Next, Volume Up/Down with Ctrl keys still don't work… This is f***g joke! 😕

Come on lads, go and play like a real FOSS hero binding those damn dbus commands, spotify shame on you

spotify keyboard shortcuts

[Y4dd]

Still not fixed on Arch Linux
Version: 1:1.1.84.716-2

[kylemis]

Why is such basic functionality still broken after 1.5+ years, wth am I paying for

[zunny]

Did anyone has workaround for this without messing keyboard shortcut for whole OS.
Also still doesn't work in version 1.1.99.878.g1e4ccc6e and 1.1.84.716.gc5f8b819

[gurman_ua]

Problem still not fixed and very annoying.
It's possible to use Spotify web-player with browser keys extension instead but web-player too buggy, unstable and not full functional.

[NuclearTicTac]

Hey Spotify.  Would you mind fixing this, please?  Especially since it worked before, I hope you find it simple enough to add back in without any trouble.  Thanks!

[Sebasty]

Well, at least the dbus keybindings are basically global keyboard shortcuts. I was longing for those back on Windows so much. No media keys on my laptop. I don't remember if there's one for volume toggling, but I can skip and play/pause with ease.

Anyway, Ctrl + arrow keys still not working as of Spotify version 1.2.8.928 installed via snap.
