Well, my volume control keycodes were unbound for several years until I
got my ass up and bound them. And actually I somewhat regret it because
now in my special setup they don't work anymore when some app grabs the
keyboard (assuming it wasn't just my good old too-stupid-to-test, don't
have time to play games so I don't notice or mind anymore ;-).
