[SOLVED] Logitech MX Keys Mini function keys

Hi - I'm hoping this might be something someone can help me with. I recently got the Logi MX Mini wireless keyboard (connected using the Logi Bolt adapter).

Everything seems to work fine - the volume up/down/mute work, however the pause/play & the screenshot function keys do not do anything. Any ideas for me to try? I'm using up-to-date Boron.

Thanks for any help!

Use xev and check what the return value for those keys are -

You get this - https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products … -mini.html ?

Some of those keys require you to press an alt or control key as well?

This is the one I have: https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products … 10475.html

The special media keys up top are active by default - so the "F1-F12" function keys are the ones you need to press "fn" key along with in order to use (although you can switch this behaviour: "When you press Fn + Esc you can swap between the Media keys and F-Keys").

Running xev, I get "serial 48" for the screenshot key...

Re: [SOLVED] Logitech MX Keys Mini function keys

I was able to map the screenshot button on this keyboard - in case anyone else has this keyboard, this is what I did:

- edit .xbindkeysrc
- find the section that starts with "# Print Screen (xfce)"
- add the line "m:0x41 + c:39" as below, and comment out (add # at the beginning of) the line that says "Print":

   # Print Screen (xfce)
   "xfce4-screenshooter"
        m:0x41 + c:39
   #   Print
