Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.
Critique should be constructive
We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.
This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.
No personal attacks
Posts making a personal attack on any user will not be tolerated.
No hate speech
Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. Any violations will be removed, and are grounds for a ban.

Go to Settings> Input Devices> Keyboard> View and customize shortcuts. This is where you can modify existing shortcuts or add custom ones. There's Volume keys and Play/Pause etc in >Keyboard shortcuts >System which you can remap. Having said, I do remember changing the need to use the function key first for media/F1-12 keys in BIOS. That reverses whatever they currently do. If you reverse it you'll need to press function for the F keys then. So depends on what you're looking to.
Switching function keys and media keys is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, my BIOS does not offer this feature.
Looking at your instructions, I see XFI6AudioRaiseVolume and a pen beside it which I would expect to allow me to edit it, along with an option to Add Keybinding. If I try to edit the field nothing happens. I expected to simply strike the key that I wanted assigned to that feature. If I want F6 to be volume up then what goes here?
OK, maybe not totally intuitive yet, but you actually need to type the keys in, and then press enter. For example, if you want Raise volume with Alt Shift and Up arrow you need to type Alt+Shift+Up, then press enter for it to "take".
Thanks for the help, but it's still not doing anything. I want F6 to be volume up. I press the key (and nothing happens) then I hit enter. Nothing appears in the keybinding field. It is empty and hitting F6 does not increase volume. No function keys or escape key enters anything into the field.
Let me try something later. Get back to you.
I see how other keys have been assigned, but there is no representation of a function key. Is it F6? f6? function(6)? None seem to work.
