| Oct 8, 2023 at 17:59 | comment | added | C. Aknesil | It's wierd that XF86MonBrightnessUp and XF86MonBrightnessDown work in i3 without you binding them in ~/.config/i3/config. As far as I know, it's the desktop environment (or i3 window manager in your case) that defines the functionality of the media keys. Also, I am not sure if Xorg is capable of "consuming" the keyboard inputs rather than mapping them according to a layout and passing them above to the desktop/window manager, which either "consumes" them or also passes them above to the application controlling the focussed window. | |
| Oct 8, 2023 at 14:12 | comment | added | GNUser | @C.Aknesil - I am not using a desktop environment, I am using i3. And I have NOT bound these media keys in my ~/.config/i3/config file. This is essentially exactly why I am asking - I want to know what these keys are already bound to (and it is NOT currently done via my i3 config), so I can update my i3 config to match | |
| Oct 8, 2023 at 11:00 | comment | added | C. Aknesil | In which desktop environment can you control the brightness with the Fn key? If it is i3, the appropriate media keys must have already been bound in your configuration, ~/.config/i3/config. You can check and see what command it executes. | |
