Public bug reported:
When using media keys, particularly the volume adjustment keys on my
keyboard, they currently work just like regular keys, which means that
when you hold them down, they generate a single keypress, then a small
delay, then a series of rapid key presses. When adjusting sound volume,
this behavior is incredibly annoying. It means that if you hold down the
volume up/down keys, you either get a single step of adjustment if you
let go quickly, or you bring the volume all the way to the max/min. The
way I expect them to work, and the way they work in Windows, is that if
you hold them down, the volume begins to adjust slowly and relatively
smoothly.
In conclusion, the naive implementation of media keys as regular keys
causes holding down the volume buttons to to something uncontrollable
and useless.
