The keyboard shortcuts for media control no longer work (volume, play, etc) on my distro (Manjaro KDE). Apparently, this happened after a update. I've tried several keyboard settings in ("System Settings" -> "Keyboard"), but nothing worked. Any suggestions, any ideas?

One of the F keys at the top can be used to "lock" or disable the shortcut keys, on my keyboard (gamdias ares) it has a key that will toggle it, just search for it on your keyboard P.S. hold down the FN key when you find it and press the toggle key

  • Thanks for the help, but I did not find this feature. Unfortunately this does not apply in my case. Nov 9, 2016 at 13:26
  • I am sorry to hear that, are you using a usb keyboard or is it a laptop keyboard? Nov 9, 2016 at 13:30
  • I don't know if you can do this on every laptop but supposedly you can go to the BIOS and disable the function keys and enable them. Nov 9, 2016 at 14:02
  • support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02035108 this is for HP laptops but I think that every BIOS can do this, I'll do more research and try to find solutions for you Nov 9, 2016 at 14:03

The solution is to remove the "xf86-input-joystick" package and reboot the computer. Tested on the Manjaro!
