You'll want to modify or create a $HOME/.config/labwc/rc.xml file and put some lines in the <keyboard> section. The default /etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml config has a couple of keybind entries that might help:Even after reading xkbcommon-keysyms.h and running wev I'm not entirely sure what Wayland has decided its PgUp/PgDn keys should be called: something like (with Ctrl) C-Prev and C-Next, perhaps? It calls The Actual Names Of The Keys "deprecated aliases", which does not inspire confidence. Peak Wayland behaviour.
If you already have a personal rc.xml in $HOME, it's in a smushed-up format and very hard to edit. If in 2026 we're gonna hafta hand-edit XML like barbarians, can't it at least be properly normalized?
Code:
<keybind key="XF86AudioRaiseVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <command>wfpanelctl volumepulse volu</command> </action> </keybind> <keybind key="XF86AudioLowerVolume"> <action name="Execute"> <command>wfpanelctl volumepulse vold</command> </action> </keybind>If you already have a personal rc.xml in $HOME, it's in a smushed-up format and very hard to edit.
