Description

I'd like to customize the tap actions on my Sony Bluetooth wireless headphones. Specifically the "double-tap" play/pause control. However, that action isn't detected by Karabiner.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Bluetooth HID events are received and processed by Karabiner Elements. Look at the event tap and HID manager code to see why Sony headset controls are not detected.
