Public bug reported:
I do not know if this is a feature in earlier versions of Kubuntu or
not, but I do know that when I used Ubuntu I was able to hit fn+11 to go
back a song in applications pithos banshee .etc and even when no
applications was running if i hit the hotkey (in mint this time) it
would display a not allowed sign. In Kubuntu these keys are not
recognized at all. I have tried the wiki page on
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys and followed every
instruction I can think of. I believe this is a bug because this feature
is available in other versions of Ubuntu.
What I tried
Xmodmap
KDE Gui shortcut editor
What happened the
keys did not work
What i expected to happen
fn+f9=pause
fn+f10=stop
fn+11=previous song
fn+f12=next song
Notes
Certain keys do work. For example fn+left turns the brightness down and fn+12
does the opposite. Fn+down turns the volume down and fn+up turns the volume up
