Description Bastien Nocera 2008-06-24 10:05:46 UTC
We'd need to add support for Fast-forward and rewind keys, as well as repeat and shuffle.

Those probably don't need a UI setup though (see also bug 494210).
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2008-06-24 17:18:07 UTC
I'll call them:
FastForward
Rewind
Repeat
Shuffle
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2008-06-24 22:17:08 UTC
FastForward = ???
Rewind = XF86XK_AudioRewind
Repeat = ???
Random = ???

We need to make X suck less :/
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2008-06-25 16:47:10 UTC
Additional XKeysyms at:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16519

And patch for the kernel sent upstream.
Comment 4 Pablo Castellano (IRC: pablog) 2010-05-10 19:25:47 UTC
JFTR: patch was committed upstream.
Comment 5 Pablo Castellano (IRC: pablog) 2010-05-10 19:28:48 UTC
FastForward = XF86XK_AudioForward
Rewind = XF86XK_AudioRewind
Repeat = XF86XK_AudioRepeat
Random = XF86XK_AudioRandomPlay
