Using a package called &#039;&#039;xbindkeys&#039;&#039;, it&#039;s possible to make these buttons do whatever it is you want. There&#039;s nothing like programming a button with an internet explorer icon to open firefox or chrome.<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; sudo emerge -av xbindkeys<br /> After the emerge completes, you can initialize the application. Substitute &#039;&#039;username&#039;&#039; for your username below.<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; xbindkeys --defaults &gt; /home/&#039;&#039;username&#039;&#039;/.xbindkeysrc<br /> Use the command <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; xbindkeys -k<br /> To determine the keystrokes for your special keys, and replace &quot;NoCommand&quot; with your desired command in the &#039;&#039;.xbindkeysrc&#039;&#039;. Simply type<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;$&#039;&#039;&#039; xbindkeys<br /> To load the new configuration once you&#039;re done. Don&#039;t forget to add &#039;&#039;xbindkeys&#039;&#039; to your session startup so it starts with X.</div>
