Where the table is deliberately empty

1 app here publishes no Mac key for Play the previous item, so that cell is left blank. A blank there is a gap in that maker documentation for Play the previous item, not an oversight here, and it is never filled by converting the other system.

If the keys for Play the previous item do nothing

The 2 apps listed here each decide this for themselves, so the first thing to check is that you are reading the row for the app you are actually in, and the column for your system. After that, check the app version, since play the previous item is the kind of command makers move between releases. Report a correction
