Yeah, I tried xbindkeys (it didn't work). In WindowMaker I ran this command:
xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode
/s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p'
Which gave me the output:
123 XF86AudioRaiseVolume
122 XF86AudioLowerVolume
121 XF86AudioMute
So the keys are being recognised with xev, just not picked up by
WindowMaker, whereas they are by Fluxbox. (My understanding is that
xbindkeys is used when say XF86AudioMute doesn't correspond to muting
the sound.)
Anyway, a few days ago I did try xbindkeys, and nothing happened with the sound.
