'Keyboard Event MediaPlayPause

It seems that we can catch the event MediaPlayPause

keyCode: 179
keyIdentifier: "MediaPlayPause"

This is a good news, but actually, I didn't manage to find a way to stop the initial event that do not depend of the browser, but the OS. Did someone find a way to cheat?

EDIT 04/2015:

I guess that's not possible to access the OS from a browser while doing JS.

You should return false from your event handler, or call both e.preventDefault and e.stopPropagation.

See this other question for the full details: event.preventDefault() vs. return false
