It doesn't support "extra" keys such as XF86Back XF86Forward etc; these keys are recognised by recent versions of X11, and are recognised by other window managers such as Fvwm, but when I tried making keybindings for them in xmonad, it didn't work, and the documentation didn't include them in the list of supported keys.
I'm not sure whether it should be called supported or not but you can use them. You only need to specify raw numbers in config. Someting like this:
-- XF86Music , ((0, 0x1008ff92 ), do_something)
You can find numbers in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB (in Debian)
Ugh.
Simpler to use something like xbindkeys, which is much easier to set up. True, the downside is that one can't do window-manager actions, just shell commands, but for things like controlling music daemons, that's all that's needed.
Why not take the next step and become a developer. Just make a simple library that is a series of lines such as: XF86MusicKey = 0x1008ff92 And so on? -Yaakov
