That refers to Android phones, right?

Such keys are fairly common on standard keyboards, or at least used to
be.  There is usually an extra "function key row" with a "volume down"
key that generates XF86AudioLowerVolume.  I have one of those keyboards
lying around.

Is there a way to support this on mobile phones without this key
breaking on machines with regular keyboards?
