Hi,
I recently installed Arch on my laptop. Most things work very well, but I can't use the "volume up", "volume down" and "mute volume" FN-keys. When I enter gnomes keyboard preferences, gnome recognizes the pressed keys and enters them correctly. But when I press them, nothing happens. The same problem appears with each mapping containing the <Super>-key.
I already searched for solutions to the <Super>-key problem, but couldn't find any so far.
For any helpful information I would be very grateful.
Greetings

Welcome to the boards.
The first step is to identify if they are being registered by the kernel:

I ran showkey and got a keycode for all keys I pressed (e.g.: 114 for volume down).
I also tried creating a xmodmap for those keycodes, but this didn't change anything about my problem.
What I just remembered is, that when I use <Super>+L (which is set to lock screen in gnome) while being in an editor, the "L" will be written. So I think gnome doesn't even catch the key combination.

Did you assign the desired commands to those keys in the gnome control center?

As I already mentioned I did this and gnome recognized the keys correctly.

I figured it out. In dconf editor enable /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/activate
This enabled custom keybindings as well als volume and media control keys
