How do I map the special keys on my keyboard? I have checked using xev to see which codes they return, but when I open the Control Centre/Personal Settings on the KDE menu and go to the short-cuts section, pressing the keys doesn't produce any output. Also some of the keys don't provide any output. For example: Search = 122 Email=236 Back= 234 Forward=233 Mute=160 Vol - = 174 Vol + = 176 Play = 162 Calc=161 Favourites, keys 1 through 5 (not numeric, "special" keys), the "Zoom" control and the = and brackets above the numeric keypad don't return any keycode. I use two main types of keyboard, a Natural (either Internet/Media variant or a new 4000 with the zoom scroll key), or a Cherry CyMotion Master Solar, which has another 10 special keys which don't do anything. Selecting the correct keyboard in the control centre doesn't make any difference to the special keys that are recognised. Some of them do actually work, the volume and play/pause key seem to be automatically recognised by Amarok for example... Dave -- "I got to go figure," the tenant said. "We all got to figure.
