Usually these keys only available on laptop users. but you also can check it out! to use is just press the key you can see on the laptop keybaord, a little icon you can see on the key.

For these keybindings to work properly, ensure these packages are installed:

Customization

To modify laptop-specific keybindings:

Edit the configuration file
Adjust the increment values (e.g., change 1% to 5% for faster changes)
Add custom laptop-specific shortcuts
Test the changes after reloading configuration

Example Custom Configuration

# Custom brightness control (5% increments)
bind = , XF86MonBrightnessUp, exec, brightnessctl set +5%
bind = , XF86MonBrightnessDown, exec, brightnessctl set 5%-

# Custom volume control (2% increments)
bindel = , XF86AudioRaiseVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 2%+
bindel = , XF86AudioLowerVolume, exec, wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 2%-
