How to adjust volume with keyboard?

[days_of_ruin]

Its just a normal keyboard.Is there some program that allows you to make
any key perform any action you want?

I use Fluxbox and amixer. I imagine there are keybinding applications independent of window managers, but I also know that Compiz has pretty flexible keyboard programming.

If you're looking to set a keyboard shortcut for volume up/down, that's easy. Goto System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts. There, you can set several system wide key bindings.

If you're using Fluxbox, it's simple: you just need to add lines to your .fluxbox/keys file:

174 :ExecCommand amixer sset Master 5%-
On my multimedia keyboard, the key with the X keycode 174 is the volume down key. Your keyboard may be different. Following is the syntax that causes the Fluxbox window manager to run the amixer command that reduces the Master volume control by 5%.
