Description Jarne Cook 2003-07-02 13:58:34 UTC

Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-bf2.4

khotkeys really should know about these
XF86HomePage (konq)
XF86Mail (kmail)
XF86Calculator (kcalc)
XF86Standby (not sure, ... lock screen, logout popup ... )

and if possible (i still haven't figured out how to get these to work in kmix)
XF86AudioMute
XF86AudioLowerVolume
XF86AudioRaiseVolume

The top 3 realy should be manditory.

Maybe oneday an app could be made to manage the media keys.

keep on truckin dudes.

PS

Just for kicks this is my share/config/khotkeysrc file.

As of KDE 3.5.9 this is not a bug. And it certainly isn't a junior job. This is a keyboard layout issue, which is handled by X.

We already have a facility to deal with special keyboards/layouts within kde. (Including most laptop keyboards)

khotkeys (by design) only recognizes keycodes that are listed in your keyboards layout. The default keyboard layout/model is Generic 101-key PC, which does not include these keys. You can change the kb model under:
Regional & Accessibility -> Keyboard Layout
Enable keyboard layouts
Change your keyboards model

If a laptop model is not listed, try updating your system.

This bug should be closed/wontfix/invalid or something.

This bug is obsolete now.
