Describe the bug Volume keys (long press) were remapped for "next track" (volume up) and respectively "previous track" (volume down).
Do not remap was NOT enabled in menu (three dots).
When screen is ON (everything works as expected):
- Long press Volume up triggers Next Track without altering volume.
- Long press Volume down triggers Previous Track without altering volume.
When screen is OFF: 3. Long press Volume up triggers Next Track however, volume increases with each press. 2. Long press Volume down triggers Previous Track however, volume decreases with each press.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Upload a backup of your keymaps. Follow the guide here.
Expected behavior Volume should NOT change.

Hi, this is a known issue. Unfortunately, Android doesn't allow apps to detect buttons when the screen is off. There is a limited and janky workaround for this that I have described here https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper/issues/501

I've faced this problem too.
I've found that your fix/workaround https://github.com/keymapperorg/KeyMapper/commit/8af2330c473fa30b3aa2c6ba15f3a70ac26a468c, unfortunately, doesn't belong to any branch on this repository.
Could you please expose this fix/workaround as a toggle/checkbox in the UI like Button Mapper does? 🙏
