I'm trying to bind multimedia keys by their names:
$ grep mpc ~/.config/i3/config
bindsym XF86AudioPrev exec --no-startup-id mpc prev
bindsym XF86AudioNext exec --no-startup-id mpc next
Those bindings didn't work. `xev` didn't recognize "keypress" events
when I'm pressing Fn+F5-F7 and Fn+F1-F3 but:
1. `showkey` shows keycodes for each combination
2. keybindings for Fn+F1-F3 works fine
In attachments, you can find "xev.log" file where I'm pressing "q",
Fn+F1, "w", Fn+F5, "e'.
I'm using Debian Stretch with i3wm. Originally, I had a clean install
of Debian Stretch with XFCE, then I have installed Gnome3 and, finally,
started to use i3wm.
