I want to assign a few keys for media control because my laptop docent have them. However KDE docent seem to recognize XF86NotificationCenter XF86PickupPhone XF86HangupPhone

kde will only respond to keycodes it knows and those are a bit niche

#

are you on wayland?

#

or x11

Wayland, lol I know its on a Thinkpad, god forbid they add media controls...

Audio Controls:

XF86AudioRaiseVolume: Increase volume
XF86AudioLowerVolume: Decrease volume
XF86AudioMute: Mute/unmute
XF86AudioMicMute: Mute microphone

Playback Control:

XF86AudioPlay: Play or pause
XF86AudioPause: Pause playback
XF86AudioStop: Stop playback
XF86AudioNext: Next track
XF86AudioPrev: Previous track

Brightness Control:

XF86MonBrightnessUp: Increase screen brightness
XF86MonBrightnessDown: Decrease screen brightness

all it allows

Thats annoying, I was able to get Cosmic to work with it. Do you know why?

tidal geyser
#

cosmic intercepts all input events via libinput first and normalizes them is what i found online

#

also if this has anything to do with it cosmic has thinkpad support built in

Ok I might just switch DE, its something I use alot. I know that wayland sees the codes is just as if KDE just simply ignoring it all together.

tidal geyser
#

so you can work around it kinda

#

also you mightt wanna look into kmonad

#

or evdev

slim pond
#

Through KDE? or something else?

tidal geyser
#

Yeah you can keep kde and bind those keys to trigger a command in playerctl and make that command do what you want

slim pond
#

Yeah but it wont reconize the key when I try to bind in the shortcut menu and trying to assin it with the config has caused errors. However I am not entirely sure how that config works so perhaps a human error.

tidal geyser
#

Kmonad can fix that

#

I recommend you read some documentation about it online
