Description Richard Hughes 2006-01-15 15:33:19 UTC 
Some multimedia keyboards have brightness up, down, sleep and hibernate hot-keys.

g-p-m should listen from the keyboard events like it currently does for the hardware key event.

This would probably involve registering an accellerator of these keys.

I think you probably want to add hooks into gnome-settings-daemon (part of gnome-control-center).  global keybindings are split between it and metacity right now, I think.
Comment 2 David Zeuthen (not reading bugmail) 2006-01-29 00:55:43 UTC 
We should probably listen for these keys in HAL instead... also note that it varies what the key code is; we probably want hal fdi files that tell us...
Comment 3 Richard Hughes 2006-01-29 12:18:55 UTC 
I think Matthew Garrett is working on a generic HAL addon to listen on the keyboard input for stuff like sleep keys.

 * src/gpm-hal-monitor.c (watch_device_condition): Use details if the button type is the empty string. Makes g-p-m do the right thing if I'm pressing the Sleep button on my keyboard (thanks to the hal patch from Matthew Garrett).
