Just tell him that his keyboard does not generate the event, and
that 0 is NoSymbol or how it is called.
I have

  bind-key XF86AudioLowerVolume "adjust-xf86-mediahooks.sh XF86AudioLowerVolume"
  bind-key XF86AudioRaiseVolume "adjust-xf86-mediahooks.sh XF86AudioRaiseVolume"
  bind-key XF86AudioMute "adjust-xf86-mediahooks.sh XF86AudioMute"
  bind-key XF86MonBrightnessDown "adjust-xf86-mediahooks.sh 
XF86MonBrightnessDown"
  bind-key XF86MonBrightnessUp "adjust-xf86-mediahooks.sh XF86MonBrightnessUp"

..but it just ends up via

  XF86MonBrightnessDown)
     isf=/run/.acpid_brightness msg='Brightness: ';;
  XF86MonBrightnessUp)
     isf=/run/.acpid_brightness msg='Brightness: ';;
  esac

etc as

  LC_ALL=C xmessage -center -timeout 1 "${msg}" </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &

 --End of <yzam+qt6hadpj...@www.stare.cz>
