what does mpv --input-test --force-window --idle say when you press those keys, does it recognise the keys?

Nothing is outputted when using mpv --input-test --force-window --idle and pressing Key NEXT or Key PREV.

Key PLAY gives the following:

[input] Key PLAY is bound to:
[input] 1.  'cycle pause' in <builtin>:1 (default)

could you pls try my cocoa_keymaps branch with mpv --input-test --force-window --idle? since i don't know what your keys map to i am poking a bit in the dark atm, so i added mappings for the two most likely candidates.

does it recognise the keys now, should be REWIND and FORWARD? if they are not recognised does your terminal output something like ----------- handleMediaKey mk_code: X -----------, if yes provide me with the key code of both keys. if they are recognised you can bind them to your desired function.

Success, output shown below.

----------- handleMediaKey mk_code: 18 -----------
[input] Key REWIND is bound to:
[input] 1.  'seek -60' in <builtin>:1 (default)
----------- handleMediaKey mk_code: 17 -----------
[input] Key FORWARD is bound to:
[input] 1.  'seek 60' in <builtin>:1 (default)

Looking at the keyboard keys more closely, they are rewind and forwards keys

Using your cocoa_keymaps branch version
