Damn, think my use of brackets is becoming compulsive
ps I know that "arch-ish" can be like a red rag to a bull here, no offence meant. That distro was a useful gateway drug for me on my journey to arch. Now running pure arch on my own laptop, and will eventually migrate mums laptop to same (cannot agree with you trilby, do not see the problem...but, of course, that may be my own naivety).
pps slightly concerned that my addiction to brackets is now becoming addiction to pps's
keep smiling

A fantastic use indeed. It amazes me that my non-computer geek friends somehow think that I come up with my computer knowledge by some mysterious force totally unknown to them... in other words: MAGIC!

Keep smiling.

or vice versa.
ps be nice. good luck.
pps it works for me, however i do have to re-initiate volumeicon each time i boot (i3wm), not sure why.
Works great, thank you flipper!
]]>It's a shame you only read the first one, and didn't bother with the second.
Foiled again by sheer and utter laziness.

]]>And what have you done so far? There are wiki pages, several threads, and many good pages that can be found via google that will tell you everything you need to know.
I changed my mind and i wanted to try it, I found https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ex … troduction and I did everything it said so first I created .Xmodmap in ~ and in there I put:
keycode 172 = XF86AudioPlay
keycode 122 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 123 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume
keycode 121 = XF86AudioMute
(and i got that using xev | grep -A2 --line-buffered '^KeyRelease' | sed -n '/keycode /s/^.*keycode \([0-9]*\).* (.*, \(.*\)).*$/\1 \2/p' )
but when i was going to try it with
$ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap
nothing happens, nothing in the console and the volume stays the same, any idea, anyone?

You should really try and solve/research your problem before posting here. You have access to the same wiki and same google as the rest of us, so I am not entirely sure why you think that we should be researching these thigns for you.
Also I am really not sure how you consider the most imprtant keys on the keyboard to be the play/pause and volume keys. Personally I think the letters and numbers hold some pretty significant value.
You do? what kind of wierdo are you?
