I am used to using fn+UP, fn+DOWN on my laptop keyboard to control volume.
Can I map my desktop keyboard so Win+UP would emulate a multimedia keyboard's volume up button?

Map arbitrary hotkey combination to work as multimedia key

The FN-key on notebooks is possibly one of the hardest keys to remap. Nonetheless, it can still be hotkey'ed if it generates a windows event.
See the AutoHotKey documetation on "Special Keys" at the bottom of this page. http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/KeyList.htm#SpecialKeys
Which also suggests ways to reconfigure the key's function if it's not a Window's event key.

I don't necessarily want to emulate the combination with FN. I think "multimedia keyboards" these days have dedicated volume keys, that would do it, assuming they are real keys. - I am using Linux btw, only used the tags for indication. – vbence – 2015-03-24T09:53:12.657
Autokey is an Linux alternative to Windows AutoHotKey but if you don't want that then yes, a multimedia keyboard is the best way to go. – Zvi Twersky – 2015-03-24T10:08:11.623
