Don't have media keys on my laptop so I assigned Meta+P to pause, pressed it, locked screen, still works both on the lock screen and after unlocking.
Also keeps plasmoidviewer from stealing them when working on media controller applet

Heh, literally got a collision on bugzilla as I was looking into it at just the same time.
I reached the same conclusion on what the bug is. +1
That solution, and I don't think I need to tell you, is a hack.
We can do it for 5.10 so we have something in the .1 release, but I'm not happy with it as a final solution.
IMHO we should move the shortcut handling from the dataengine to something else which our MPRIS applet can load.
Dataengines should be read only data fetchers; not handling events; it goes against their own design.
If no-one does a better fix by the end of tomorrow (I have an idea in mind) go ahead and push this.

Hmm, just of this after reading a comment on reddit. Latte-Dock uses another process, would this cause keyboard shortcuts to not work for it? I'm not sure if it has a different app name.

I'm not certain what sets qApp->applicationName().

no prob from Latte side... it is better for us to have that functionality disabled, we can fix afterwards some issues when combining plasma panels with latte docks
