I recently bought a Drop ENTR, and I would like to use the media keys. On the drop.com website it says that using FN + the F-keys should work, but “Fn hotkeys may work with Windows operating system only.”. Well, for me it doesn’t work. Any ideas as to why that could be, or how I could go about creating a workaround?

obligatory I use arch btw

    You should be able to see what key codes the OS is receiving, but I don’t remember how, will try to update this later with a link

      Good idea! I found the command sudo showkey -k and found out which key codes are triggered by the FN+F-key combos. It seems the keycodes for FN+F4 and FN+F12 are already mapped by KDE. I think I’ll be able to work with this, thanks!
