Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-x11@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: X11 on FreeBSD -- maintaining and support List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2012 18:16:53 -0000 I have multimedia keys with keycodes 145 and 146. xev shows events with these codes. But kde4 doesn't even offer these keys as shortcut keys for various functions. Handbook doesn't talk about this topic at all, though this is the likely question users can ask when faced with multimedia keys and FreeBSD combination: How to use them? So what should happen for multimedia keys in FreeBSD? 'xev' shows them. 'xmodmap -pke' doesn't show any mappings for 145 146 keycodes, and it shouldn't (right?), since there can be user level functions that can't be defined in xorg (like run my favorite app). kde4 acts like they don't exist.
