So I bought a keyboard for my laptop. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the function key (though I know many people say it's useless). On my laptop, I control volume with the function key and F9-11. How can I get the same functionality on my external keyboard? The advanced keyboard settings don't have an option related to the function key.
More specifically, it would be great if I could map it to my 'Menu' key which I'm never going to use.
Or is there a way to get full functionality without it?

If you open the keyboard settings, then click the 'shortcuts' tab, then select the "sound & media" page, you can change the shorcut for mute, up and down. I tested CtrlMenu for mute, SuperMenu for down, and AltMenu for up and it seems to work OK.
Weird way of doing it though - the modifier key denotes the function while you just hit the menu key for action.
