Description
Hi,
i like to control my phone using termux-api over ssh, but there is one thing i am missing, media control actions like play/pause, next and previous
Here is a screenshot of the actions from the Keymapper App, which is also open source, where you sure can copy the code for the actions:

you can find the app here:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/io.github.sds100.keymapper/
there are sure other useful actions to implement like switching Bluetooth on/off, auto rotate on/off or do not disturb on/off
maybe the command can be named termux-action or so...
thanks implementing this actions in advance

Research direction
Start by reviewing the termux-api command structure and existing device-function implementations, then compare the requested media actions with the linked Keymapper app. Done means exposing play/pause, next, and previous media controls through a clearly defined command usable over SSH; the additional Bluetooth, rotation, and do-not-disturb actions are separate scope.
