Hey I have a simple problem 
My Volume control keys dont control the volume. If I press Fn+F2 to make the sound quieter just nothing happens. Where can I activate that?
(Im on Dell XPS 15 7590, Manjaro KDE)
I’m not using a laptop, and my keyboard doesn’t have any multimedia keys, but the usual suspects are…
System Settings → Workspace → Shortcuts
… and…
System Settings → Hardware → Input Devices → Keyboard ("Advanced’ tab)
(Thread moved from #support:applications to #desktop-environments:Plasma and typo corrected in thread title)
Hmm the volume down/up shortcut is set. It also registers the action Fn+f2 as "Volume down pressed.
It just doesnt update my Sound 
Have you tried an alternative shortcut (without Fn or windows key) just regular ctrl/alt and a letter in order to see if there is a conflict in the shortcuts or it is related to something else?

EDIT: This wasnt the issue 
The issue is. That audio control keys only work when there is an audio control button on the dock or panel. I didnt want that so i removed it but then the shortcuts dont work. Now I added it again and even the normal volume keys also work.
But this is strange. Why do I need to have this icon on my panel?

Maybe the shortcut is directly correlated to the specific app widget and not plasma desktop globally.
