DetailsDescription:
I have a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard [1]. It has a row with combined F1..F12 keys and media keys. Using a hardware switch you can decide which functionality you want to use. Unfortunately, I cannot get the media keys to work. When I open the GNOME System preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, and I try to set the play/pause, mute, volume down, volume up keys, the GNOME preferences window does not recognize a key press. To illustrate further: 1. You have the shortcuts window open 2. You want to register a new keybinding for play/pause 3. You click on the play/pause row, and it says "New accelerator.." 4. You push the play/pause button on your keyboard 5. Nothing happens. No key is detected and the window still says "New accelerator.." Some extra strangeness: the search button on my keyboard is recognized as Shift+Super+Touchpad Toggle Using showkey --scancodes I find the following scancodes: Play/pause: 0xe0 0x22 0xe0 0xa2 Mute: 0xe0 0x20 0xe0 0xa0 Volume down: 0xe0 0x2e 0xe0 0xae Volume up: 0xe0 0x30 0xe0 0xb0 Search: 0xaa 0xe0 0xdb 0xf4 0x2a 0xe0 0x5b 0x74 F6 media key (I don't know what the icon means): 0x38 0xe0 0x5b 0x74 0xb8 0xe0 0xdb 0xf4 F7 media key (I don't know what the icon means): 0x1d 0xe0 0x5b 0x74 0x9d 0xe0 0xdb 0xf4 Settings: 0xe0 0x5b 0x74 0xe0 0xdb 0xf4 F9 media key (I don't know what the icon means): 0x1d 0xe0 0x5b 0x0e 0x9d 0xe0 0xdb 0x8e F10 media key (I don't know what the icon means): 0x1d 0xe0 0x5b 0x0f 0x9d 0xe0 0xdb 0x8f (It always inserts some tab before the scan code) F11 media key (Tile window left?): 0x38 0xe0 0x5b 0xe0 0x79 0xb8 0xe0 0xdb 0xe0 0xf9 F12 media key (Tile window bottom?): 0x1d 0xe0 0x5b 0x6d 0x9d 0xe0 0xdb 0xed Calculator: 0xe0 0x21 0xe0 0xa1 This image gives a nice overview of the media key icons: https://blogs.microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2013/08/4530.SED_5F00_STop_5F00_FY14.png To conclude: no media key performs the expected action. Most of them do nothing, and the search tool also triggers a "super" button press. What would I need to do to fix this? If you would like to see any configuration file, please let me know. I'm running on up to date Arch Linux with GNOME. [1]: https://www.microsoft.com/hardware/nl-nl/p/sculpt-ergonomic-desktop |

However if it helps narrow things down I can confirm that the expected behaviour has been present for me under Fedora 22 for months; I'm not sure which package is the problem, but I can compare versions/distro patches between that install and Arch if you'd like.
Edit: addendum, this is definitely not specific to GNOME.
