I am using Plexamp on Windows v4.6.1 and misses the default keyboard shortcuts for next/previous and pause which are normal media control keys on the keyboard. I know it’s possible to override keyboard shortcuts but this ain’t work either.  
Why Plexamp ignores the media controls when other plays like Windows Media Player, VLC, iTunes, etc. are able to interpret the action?

We’re looking to support this in the future.
