VolumeUp? List of buit-in commands?

[andreyadrian]

Is there built-in commands?
Like for volume up, brightness up, etc...

If not, its okay I could just do something like:

c1 (cmd-button "amixer set Master 10%+")

btw any idea why
c1 (cmd-button "kgx")
isnt working in my case
it should run a console window.

I do have
allow-cmd true
in the defcfg

Are you trying to configure builtin keyboard media controls? There are keycodes corresponding to brightness/volume/etc. in ./src/KMonad/Keyboard.hs, you could try binding those keycodes in your defsrc block or any other alias/layer, e.g.:
(defalias c1 volu) ;; volu is a builtin keycode for "KeyVolumeUp"
Well-made software would recognize media control buttons, I think; if they don't, then yeah, you'll have to roll your own media button integration or send a PR there.

As for the cmd-button issues, the first step is to run kmonad with debug logging sudo kmonad -l debug and try the key combo; if the command gives stdout on error, then you will see it in the terminal and can diagnose the issue. Note there is also #426, which causes commands to inherit sudo from kmonad and run in root environment instead of the user; my way of working around this is by wrapping commands with sudo -u and your non-root account, though this is not portable and probably not security-kosher.
