There's a persistent bug on macOS where keyboard shortcuts assigned to shortcuts in the Shortcuts app don't work in certain apps. Which apps? Who knows. I don't! So I figured out a solution with BetterTouchTools and wrote up a short guide. Hopefully it helps someone! #LearnInPublic #BuildInPublic

Nice article! My computer is in my bedroom, so I use an app called AutoMute (apps.apple.com/us/app/autom...) to mute my computer whenever the display turns off. If I understood your workflow correctly, it would eliminate the need for your keyboard shortcut!

First off, congratulations for being my 🥇 first ever reader! :) I’ve been on and off with the goal to write more, even if it has always been for myself. I don’t collect any analytics (and have no desire to do so), so I don’t know who actually sees this. Mentions like these are so nice, so thank you!

For some reason I feel like it used to auto-pause, but lately I've noticed a few times when I had music running and didn't expect it to be. Maybe it never did, and I'm always good about doing it myself... but that seems unlikely. Anyway, I'm less sure about this.

Other times, I have my computer display off (sleeping) but the background sounds still running while I’m doing tasks in front of my workstation. Like reading a technical paper, for example. In those instances, muting wouldn’t be ideal (though of course I can just not run the app!)
