[Bug 789192] Re: The sound menu should handle keyboard volume/mute keys

 

This is a limitation of gtk+ (and X): menus grab the keyboard and mouse
so that they can close themselves when the user navigates away from
them. It's unlikely that this will be fixed before the switch to Mir.

Title:
  The sound menu should handle keyboard volume/mute keys

Status in Sound Menu:
  Invalid
Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If you open the sound menu, and while it's open press the volume
  special  keys available on some keyboards, the volume doesn't change.
  The sound menu should handle these key presses and move the volume
  slider or mute when they are pressed.

  The reason for this bug report is I sometimes press play on the sound
  menu to find the volume too loud, my first instinct is to hit the down
  volume key on my keyboard but this does nothing while the menu is
  still open.
