Ah I see - sorry, that seems obvious now! No, I don't have anything waiting to listen for keystrokes, I thought that facility came directly from the kernel not the DE? And yup, I made sure I had the right keyboard selected via dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration. I've got a work-around functioning: Using WPrefs I put the following commands... amixer set Master 2%+ amixer set Master 2%- amixer set Master toggle ... in menu items and bound shortcut keys to them. Frustratingly there doesn't seem to be a config file for Windowmaker to add keyboard shortcuts, everything has to be done through WPrefs (modifying pre-existing ones).
