does not compile.

It looks like you're using EZConfig, in which case you should be able to just use ("XF86AudioRaiseVolume", spawn "aumix2pipe -10") Have a look at the source for "multimediaKeys" in module XMonad.Util.EZConfig for the names of other multimedia keys. Those of us who don't use EZConfig can do: main = xmonad defaultConfig { ... , keys = \c -> myKeys c `M.union` keys defaultConfig c ... } myKeys XConfig{XMonad.modMask = modm} = M.fromList [ ... -- XF86AudioMute , ((0, 0x1008ff12), spawn "amixer -q set PCM toggle") -- XF86AudioRaiseVolume , ((0, 0x1008ff13), spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1+") -- XF86AudioLowerVolume , ((0, 0x1008ff11), spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1-") -- XF86Mail , ((0, 0x1008ff19), spawn "urxvtc -e abook") ] As was just suggested Ian Leroux

Quoting "Ian D. Leroux" : http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/X11/1.5.0.0/doc/html/Graphics-X1...

For example:

import Graphics.X11.ExtraTypes.XF86

myKeys XConfig{XMonad.modMask = modm} = M.fromList [ ... , ((0, xF86XK_AudioMute, spawn "amixer -q set PCM toggle") , ((0, xF86XK_AudioRaiseVolume, spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1+") , ((0, xF86XK_AudioLowerVolume, spawn "amixer -q set PCM 1-") , ((0, xF86XK_Mail, spawn "urxvtc -e abook") ]

Much better than my version, thanks for pointing that out. Note that this requires a more recent version of the X11 library than currently ships with Debian. -- Ian Leroux

it works! thanks lars On Sun, 10 Jan 2010, Viktor Deryagin wrote:

Hi All,

I want to map my vol up and vol down keys. I used xev to capture their info as follows:

KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,    root 0x115, subw 0x0, time 1035672, (320,301), root:(321,319),    state 0x0, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001,    root 0x115, subw 0x0, time 1036158, (320,301), root:(321,319),    state 0x0, keycode 123 (keysym 0x1008ff13, XF86AudioRaiseVolume), same_screen YES,    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:    XFilterEvent returns: False

but I dont know how to use them in my xmonad.hs like other keys:

myKeys = \c -> mkKeymap c $    -- volume key binding    [ ("M-=", spawn "aumix2pipe +10")    , ("M--", spawn "aumix2pipe -10")

Could anyone provide a solution?

It's simple:

myKeys = \c -> mkKeymap c $ -- volume key binding [ ("<XF86AudioRaiseVolume>", spawn "aumix2pipe +10") , ("<XF86AudioLowerVolume>", spawn "aumix2pipe -10")]
