What you really need to do is disable the mechanism that grabs <br>
multimedia keys before they get to the application. Then the edit keys <br>
will see them. Each version of Ubuntu has its own method of doing that:<br>
<br>
Ubuntu (this may be out of date):<br>
<br>
use dconf-editor org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys and remove <br>
the<br>
actions from keys (next, pause, play, previous, stop)<br>
<br>
In Xubuntu:<br>
<br>
in the panel preferences find the pulseaudio plugin(volume control), <br>
Right Click, Properties, media players. Disable "Control playback of <br>
media players".<br>
