There's no way to assign a key that does not generate a key code and that's the situation with my email key for example. The Fn+? are OK. In KDE I don't have to assign shortcuts, I just add: --- cut --- keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume --- cut --- in /etc/X11/Xmodmap and they work. The extra euro and dollar sign require (the kernel complains about these): /usr/bin/setkeycodes e033 132 /usr/bin/setkeycodes e034 133 + (in Xmodmap again) keycode 248 = dollar keycode 140 = EuroSign You, me, some other users can do this, but what about the rest? That's why I asked is there a proper/better way. (btw: with my old laptop all keys were working this way)
The only keys that don't respond with a keycode are the multmedia keys, which I have not been able to get to work. Hopefully someone with more grey cells will figure out how to make the non responsive keys work.
Fortunately for me, everything else that I require, screen brightness, volume, etc, works the way I want it to.
