I have an Acer multimedia keyboard. I use xbindkeys to set the actions |
| 13 |
related to multimedia keys. |
| 14 |

| 15 |
Below is a snip of my .xbindkeysrc |

As you can see, keycodes 174 annd 176 are volumes up and down, |
| 59 |
160 is the mute button, 164, 162 are stop and play/pause, 144 |
| 60 |
and 153 are REW and FF, which I doubled up with meta keys to |
| 61 |
get other features. 223 is the "screen saver" key. And 236 is |
| 62 |
the "e-mail" key. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
I've quite forgotten how I found these keycodes. But some of them |
| 65 |
are quasi standard (I've seen the codes for volume and music player |
| 66 |
work on other keyboards, including Dell laptops). |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
On my old laptop I used to use a different solution: I think I mapped |
| 69 |
the appropriate keycodes to the XF86VolumeUp and similar keys and then |
| 70 |
mapped those key events using the WM. |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
I can try to dig out the old config if you'd like. |
