Implement hotkeys such as KEY_PLAYPAUSE, KEY_RFKILL
The problem you're addressing (if any)
Currently, hotkeys that can be identified using libinput debug-events, such as KEY_PLAYPAUSE, KEY_RFKILL, KEY_F21 (disable touchpad) are ignored by Qubes OS.
The solution you'd like
Those hotkeys' functionality could be implemented, as it is in other OS'es.
The value to a user, and who that user might be
Anyone who has a keyboard with such hotkeys might want to be able to take full advantage of it.
Completion criteria checklist
(This section is for developer use only. Please do not modify it.)
How do you propose KEY_PLAYPAUSE to be implemented? dom0 (or dom0 + sys-audio) would somehow have to guess which VM media is playing in and route the event there, which does not seem easy.
The same issue is with the KEY_TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE key.
