Hi guys,
i installed arch linux, with gnome on my macbook pro 8.1. After 1 day i tried i3, and don't like gnome no more. All works well except the media keys of the keyboard (brightness, volume, etc).
I read, that one could use gnome-settings-daemon but that doesn't work for me. Do i have something else than adding exec /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon to my .i3/config?
Thanks in advance!
You could just assign (bindsym) your keys directly in .i3/config to change volume, brightness etc.
You have to have a program to be executed, that has the needed ability though. xbacklight and alsamixer come to mind, but there are a bunch of alternatives.
xev is a great tool to get the definition of any pressed key. Media keys are recognized (most of the times) and can be used by their name.
