skhd Media keys emulation

I'am trying to run

skhd -k "sound_up" or khd -k "play"

but it does not make any effect. Am I understand correct how it should work?

I'am trying to emulate media keys on keyboard not supported by osx.

Media keys cannot be synthesized in the current version. They can only be bound as the trigger for some hotkey action.

possible to do this with safari? taking notes while watching video. Need to pause/rewind/forward. Usually I'd move to next screen, hit j/k/l move back finish the notes again go to safari screen hit k and return to notes screen. A simple shortcut to tell safari to play/pause would have been nicer. Any ways I could achieve this ?

I've seen some multiline AppleScript to that searches for specific tab and uses javascript selector to play/pause : here https://www.reddit.com/r/applescript/comments/gb031a/applescript_to_pause_media_in_safari/ but not sure how to use multiline AppleScript with skhd, still new here!

Thanks :)

alternate solution I found : as I also use karabiner-elements, allows remapping key-combinations to media actions (playpause/next/prev). However, this doesn't resolve skipping 10s ahead/back.
