I don't think that will be possible. If I understand it correctly we're even working on removing phones from that list: https://github.com/elementary/wingpanel-indicator-sound/pull/104

Alright, I believe it's a plugin for the gnome-settings-daemon: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/master/plugins/media-keys

Are you able to reproduce this issue with other MPRIS2 controllers/tools/libraries? Like: * Command line: [playerctl](https://github.com/acrisci/playerctl) * Command line: [mpris-ctl](https://github.com/mariusor/mpris-ctl) * i3wm status bar: [py3status mpris module](https://github.com/ultrabug/py3status)

So having set the "Switch Layout" to Something like Alt + Shift can interfere with 4 key shortcuts? How does that work? Possibly related: - https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues/1832

Is there any way we can request layout changes manually? Implement the keyboard shortcuts ourselves?

When you say stays "deactivated" you mean that "Disabled" is shown in the keys field? If so it might be related to https://github.com/elementary/switchboard-plug-keyboard/issues/77 ?
