Does Monterey prohibit media_key_only_control_itunes from working?

[Anthony-Joel]

I discovered this project today after becoming frustrated with the MacOS media keys no longer working "as they should". I've used Mac Media Key Forwarder and Spiced Beard in the past - neither of which are working now. After installing this software and importing the rule found here https://ke-complex-modifications.pqrs.org/#media_key_only_control_itunes , I'm finding that this also doesn't work. Is there a known issue with Monterey that prevents these modifications from operating?

I've followed the instructions found here but when I check with Event Viewer, F8 is not returning any commands. F7 and F9 are returning their respective "consumer_key_code". When I quit Elements, F8 returns {"key_code":"f8"}.

I had the same issue. This is because the osascript calls 'iTunes' as an application, which has moved to 'Music'. Remove the media_key_only_control_itunes rules from Karabiner, paste and execute sed -i '' 's/iTunes/Music/g' $(grep -rwl '"title": "Media key only control iTunes' ~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications) in your terminal.app and add the rules again and your Media Keys should work the way you want.
