Description Devin Carraway 2003-05-14 10:15:16 UTC 
From http://bugs.debian.org/193270 , a request for some new actions:

- combined play-pause: not really doable, given the XF86Audio keysyms, but
it might be worth smoothing over this issue with some UI, since it gets
asked a lot.

- blank screen (as opposed to locking); I've never seen a keyboard that
drew a distinction betwen the two operations, but I suppose some users
might want an easy way of picking one or the other (absent Bug#11627).

- Next/previous workspace: wnck doesn't appear to provide anything of the
sort, but figured I'd pass it on.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2004-02-25 18:11:48 UTC 
- Combined Play/pause button is to be implemented by the application.
The current label in the control-center is "Play (or Play/Pause)"

- Blank screen seems too edge-case for me to add.

- Reassigning for the last one, Metacity needs to use the egg key
binding stuff so the users can assign keycodes as shortcuts.
Comment 2 Rob Adams 2004-02-26 02:47:45 UTC 
You can already assign pretty much anything to shortcuts; no UI for it
though at the moment.  I personally have all my XF86* keys launching
various things.  Not sure what, if anything, using the egg stuff would
accomplish, though not duplicating code is certainly useful.
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2005-02-04 06:29:39 UTC 
I believe that the patches in bug 140448 are designed to handle this; feel free
to reopen if I'm in error.
