I created a local web app for my family to enjoy our music library, and while using a Bluetooth speaker connected to my Windows laptop, I encountered an issue. When I tried double-clicking the center button on the speaker to skip a song, nothing happened. Single clicks work for pausing the song, but the double-click function is missing. Is there a way to use JavaScript or jQuery to detect the double-click from the Bluetooth speaker? I already have an event listener set up for the '2' key to skip to the next track. Does Windows send double-click events, and how should I configure my JS code for that? I can detect double-clicks on regular DOM elements but haven't attempted this with a Bluetooth device yet. Any advice would be appreciated!

Honestly, while you mentioned jQuery, it’s mostly a JavaScript issue here. The bigger question is whether your Bluetooth speaker actually sends a double-click command. It's possible that double-clicks aren't registered the same way as key events, so check the documentation for your speaker.
You might want to check out the Media Session API! It allows you to manage media playback and can listen for next track events that might be triggered by your Bluetooth speaker. Here's a link for more info: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Media_Session_API. It should be useful for your setup!
Yeah, I found that out too! It made things so much easier for controlling the media. Glad it helped!
I think you're right. I'm curious to see if the info about keypress events is available. I’ll test it tonight with the suggestions from others!
