First enable kmilod again - since KDE 3.4 or 3.5 the programmers improved this daemon so far that even I don't want to miss the features anym more. :-) Now let's get XF86AudioRaiseVolume and XF86AudioLowerVolume "renamed". You need to remap the keys with xmodmap. Create in ~/bin a script named autorun.sh, make it executable, create a shortcut in the hidden KDE autorun directory (sorry, I have the german version running, so I only tell the german name of the directory: ~/.kde/Autostart) OR edit an existing startup script (then insert only the last of the 3 following lines): #!/bin/bash # /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap ~/.keyboardrc create a hidden file in ~ named .keyboardrc and fill in: keycode 174 = F18 keycode 176 = F19 To check if everthing is working fine by now, execute in a terminal or konsole: /usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap ~/.keyboardrc Then run xev, press the keys [Vol+] and [Vol-]. You should see the output: ... KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001, root 0x4c, subw 0x0, time 1471174660, (685,-187), root:(689,608), state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x1008ff13, F19), same_screen YES, ... Remember your posting? XF86AudioRaiseVolume should have changed to F19, XF86AudioLowerVolume should have changed to F18. If that happens, you can install following scripts in ~/bin and bind them with KControl, Regional & Accessibility, Keyboard shortcuts to the scripts. script for volume up (8 lines): #!/bin/bash # lv=$(($(dcop kmix Mixer0 volume 0)+5)) dcop kmix Mixer0 setVolume 0 $lv dcop kded kmilod displayProgress MainVolume $lv # kdialog --passivepopup "Volume: $lv" 1 # either use dcop kded ... or kdialog for volume output # with kdialog last number is time in seconds for popup window script for volume down (8 lines): #!/bin/bash # lv=$(($(dcop kmix Mixer0 volume 0)-5)) dcop kmix Mixer0 setVolume 0 $lv dcop kded kmilod displayProgress MainVolume $lv # kdialog --passivepopup "Volume: $lv" 1 # either use dcop kded ... or kdialog for volume output # with kdialog last number is time in seconds for popup window last a script for mute (10 lines): #!/bin/bash # dcop kmix Mixer0 toggleMute 0 # lv=$(dcop kmix Mixer0 mute 0) if [ "$(dcop kmix Mixer0 mute 0)" = "true" ] then dcop kded kmilod displayText "Stummgeschaltet" else dcop kded kmilod displayProgress MainVolume $(dcop kmix Mixer0 absoluteVolume 0) fi Don't forget to bind the script with khotkeys... cu/2, Andreas ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
