what I basically did to get my audio hotkeys working

New page

4.2 Hotkeys

I got some of the Fn+Cursor-keys to work by doing some work within /etc/X11/xkb/symbols; it worked fine for me in the first set up (Ubuntu 8.04 amd64) though it kind of stopped working when I re-installed to 8.10 x86. What's working for me at the moment is the Play/Pause hotkey (globally; associated in amarok's global shortcuts) and the Previous/Next Track/Stop keys (only with amarok focussed).

Here's a couple of pieces which still need assembling for a fully functional piece of advice:

I created the file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys with this content:

// Layout for Lenovo Thinkpad R61i's multimedia keys
//
// $XFree86: xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys,v 0.1 2008/11/14 19:00:34 Pumba Exp $

default partial

xkb_symbols "audio" {

key <I20> { [ XF86AudioMute ] };
key <I2E> { [ XF86AudioLowerVolume ] };
key <I30> { [ XF86AudioRaiseVolume ] };

// Play, Pause
key <I22> { [ XF86AudioPlay ] };

// Previous track
key <I10> { [ XF86AudioPrev ] };

// Next track
key <I19> { [ XF86AudioNext ] };

// Stop
key <I24> { [ XF86AudioStop ] };

};

Then I edited "my" language's file in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols (the one that looks like your country code, probably) to include the lines I just wrote:

[...]

default

xkb_symbols "basic" {

include "latin(type4)"
include "lenovo-thinkpad-r61i-hotkeys(audio)"

[...]

};

+The <Isomething>-part comes from X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 - compare xev | grep keycode's output with this file to find the <I##> code...
