You can assign your fn keys for brightness, sound, browser tab management, and even switch workspaces. In Ubuntu it set things up automatically, but on your Acer Chromebook with Coreboot you’ll need to adjust settings manually. Give it some time while you rest—you might get a better answer then.

FN keys pose some challenges, possibly due to Kali's Debian foundation and its older kernel version.

There’s no built-in shortcut for PulseAudio, but you can create one manually. For brightness, adjust the settings directly in your system preferences.

Yes, you can create a script that reads an X value from a variable, adjusts brightness by adding or subtracting a fixed number (like 100), closes the window, and then triggers an action when a specific key is pressed. This can be integrated into application shortcuts for quick control.
