GNOME has dropped its MediaKeys plugin in its 42 Beta release. It had
been deprecated for a while; MPRIS is the recommended replacement.

org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/-/merge_requests/268

Thank you,
Jeremy Bicha

Where do we have GNOME MediaKeys support?

And we won't remove support for GNOME features the moment they are
removed in the latest version of GNOME, since it takes more stable
distributions several years to catch up.

Thanks.

The only mention I can find of "MediaKeys" in the Emacs sources are in
examples in manuals and doc strings:

@result{} (("/org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/MediaKeys"
     ("org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.MediaKeys")

Jeremy, is this what you had in mind?

Indeed.

If that's indeed what Jeremy had in mind, then IMO we should postpone
updating the documentation to remove those mentions until GNOME 42 is
released, otherwise it will not represent what is canonically installed
on a up-to-date system.

Thanks.

Yes, that's all. I did a search for things that mentioned GNOME's
MediaKeys. It's already deprecated so people shouldn't use it and
assume it will still be there in the future.

Thanks,

Thanks, then I'll update the documentation once GNOME 42 is released and
close this report.

Just a reminder about this: GNOME 42 was released on March 23, 2022.

Right, I forgot about that.  It will be done shortly.
