Is it possible to make a shortcut for the multimedia keys on any other key? In my case I have only the volume keys on my keyboard, no other keys like e.g. to skip songs. Can we have a shorcut to skip a song on another key, or for example on Ctrl+Vol key?

Yes you can! If you are using banshee
, Open the keyboard preferences. Click on the second tab named "Shortcuts".
In the left pane, click on custom shortcuts. Click on + sign:
In name put:
Music next
In command put:
banshee --next
Now in the right pane click and put your own accelerator for this.
Enjoy!!!

I already make that for the Banshee, but I want to make in other player (Nuvola Player). If is possible to make an secondary shortcut will be alot easier.– euDennisMay 3, 2012 at 19:17

launchpad.net/nuvola-player The developer says in the next release will have the 'nuvolaplayer --next' feature. But anyway, I was trying to make an secondary shorcut for 'next song' multimedia keyboard because in that way will work with everything.– euDennisMay 5, 2012 at 17:17
I've created a small tutorial that intros this principle by using AutoHotkey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoDfCiKoBCk

Great to see that you have created a tutorial on this, hopefully it will help and solve the original question.– Phil UKDec 8, 2016 at 4:36
