mute button

Hi, in my keyboard there isn't the mute button (i can only up or down the volume) and i'd like to add it in some F button like F8, how can i do this?

i've seen in the wiki the way to create a personal keyboard, but i don't know what options i need to write in the conf file.
An other thing that i don't have understood is how can i run it at boot, i meen i just need to add my personal keybord in vconsole file with KEYMAP="..."?

Thanks for help!

Hello!

You can use Xbindkeys to bind commands to certain keys. Xbindkeys works independent of the window manager and desktop environment.

Re: mute button

but this solution leaves the original keybord as it is? I mean, i've alredy some shortcut that standard driver have found like up and down volume or some function option. If i use this solution my keybord will be replaced or it is only a integration?

Xbindkeys only bind command to the keys that you tell it to bind commands to.

Re: mute button

check the gnome control center - not been using gnome for ages, but they most certainly have an own daemon for global shortcuts.
