I'm not able to make the multimedia-, volume- and brightness-keys to work in the i3 wm on my Macbook Air from 2015.I have inserted the code which is supposed to enable the buttons however it doesn't work. Reloaded the config settings and tried restarting the computer. The following is the code I use:Pulse Audio controlsbindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +2%; exec pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ 0bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -2%; exec pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ 0bindsym XF86AudioMute exec pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggleMedia player controlsbindsym XF86AudioPlay exec playerctl play-pausebindsym XF86AudioNext exec playerctl nextbindsym XF86AudioPrev exec playerctl previousSreen brightness controlsbindsym XF86MonBrightnessUp exec xbacklight -inc 20 # increase screen brightnessbindsym XF86MonBrightnessDown exec xbacklight -dec 20 # decrease screen brightnesswhich I found on this questionIs it possible that the multimedia keys have a different name on certain Macbooks?I have also tried thisPerhaps there is a significant place I have to place the code?Edit 1I can see the command line reacting when I press the buttonsEdit 2When executing the xbacklight command in the prompt I get the following output:% xbacklight -inc 20No outputs have backlight propertyEdit 3I've now solved for the volume keys with the following rowsbindsym XF86AudioRaiseVolume exec amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%+bindsym XF86AudioLowerVolume exec amixer -D pulse sset Master 5%-bindsym XF86AudioMute exec amixer -D pulse set Master 1+ toggleEdit 4Found great info here: https://faq.i3wm.org/question/3747/enabling-multimedia-keys.1.html
