I’m running Fedora 36 Workstation on a HP BS145-TU laptop. When I was on Fedora 35 I was able to use FN+F Keys on an external wired keyboard connected to my laptop and the laptop’s dediacated volume button to increase/decrease volume and other action like play/pause , stop, next/previous . But now on F36 when an external wired keyboard is connected these FN+F Key action doesn’t work anymore , only the laptop’s dediacted button work. I thought it was an upgrade bug so i did a clean install, that too yield same result. i tried **sudo showkey** to check if keys are detected when pressed (from ). And the output was 114 and up 115 (using FN+F2/F3) and for F2/F3 I have 60/61.Is there any fix.
Did you get a look on this:
System Locale and Keyboard Configuration :: Fedora Docs
I can imagine that the wired keyboard has a different layout as the built in one.
i looked into it but didnt get much
here is the output for one of the command it say localectl
[bruce@fedora ~]$ localectl
System Locale: LANG=en_IN.UTF-8
VC Keymap: in-eng
X11 Layout: in
X11 Variant: eng
If you go into settings → keyboard → View and Customize Shortcuts → Sound and Media what is there for shortcuts?
You can also look on the command line:
gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys
You may need to set some of them.
when i go to Sound and Media (under Keyboard - View and Customize Shortcut) it says Disabled
and as for gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys

and as for adding custom shortcut when i press FN key there is nothing displayed on the shortcut window but when i press the windows key there it shows the key so I have set it to Windows++(plus key on the right numpad) for volume up
the issue is fixed , i guess it was kernels fault(5.17) . after updating the system to 5.18.
