    • map physical volume up/down keys to mouse wheel
    • map track play/pause and next keys to what they say, for Firefox MPRIS
    • map track stop and prev keys to volume up and down (ALSA master volume)

    Rationale:

    • the track keys need Fn on a Thinkpad X61, the volume keys don’t so are more natural for mouse wheel emulation (plus I did that first)
    • Fn-↑ is Stop and Fn-← is Prev so Stop raises the volume
