  • @don_crissti thanks but that doesn't seem to answer anything. Is there another way of registering hotkeys? Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 22:45
  • @don_crissti It's related for sure but I don't think it's a duplicate. Listing all the grabs and finding one specific grabber isn't the same. The solution that's useful to Andrew is buried in a comment (because Andrew's problem isn't what I was asking). Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 22:46
  • Yes running xdotool keydown "XF86AudioPlay"; xdotool key "XF86LogGrabInfo"; xdotool keyup "XF86AudioPlay"; sleep 1; tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log did it. For somehow google Chrome registered the hotkey. Commented Feb 10, 2016 at 23:21
