I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.
Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?

You have the Multimedia Group features enabled (=n). To turn off, activate the master settings:
To change a setting, pressing and hold the “=” key in the number row (above the Tab key) on your Advantage keyboard, then tap the appropriate second key. To turn off all settings in a group, activate one of the master settings (=m, =p, or =w).
Multimedia Group features, =n

Go to the Keyboard Shortcuts section of your desktop environment configuration and map them.

Keyboard shortcuts map key combinations to desktop environment actions. What I want is to map keys to keys or, preferably, find out why the default mapping is not working anymore. – Helder S Ribeiro – 2010-04-17T14:37:23.757
How do you like those things? I've always been interested in trying one, but never really found anyone with one I could poke at, or heard any real reviews. – Fake Name – 2010-04-17T04:59:06.677
I'm very satisfied with mine. I started having pain after a translation gig (a lot more uninterrupted typing than programming) and this keyboard (along with other preventive practices) significantly helped stop it from reappearing. It's very comfy :) – Helder S Ribeiro – 2010-04-17T14:41:52.533
