How can I make F13-F24 to be actually recognized as F13-F24 in KDE Wayland?
  • I don't think that's possible since I have this issue with all my costume keyboards.
    Some of them have only 36-keys. Such keyboard layouts do not exist in the Plasma keyboard settings.
    They all use QMK as a firmware so I can program the keys to do anything I want.

  • I have not found any... I guess I would need to select: "Generic | Generic 121-key PC" as the keyboard model, which does not exist.
    This is the keyboard: https://github.com/bluepylons/Boston

    But it's running QMK so one would have the same problem e.g.: with a 36-key keyboard which is programmed to send F13-F24 in some way...

    I got a big keyboard with F13-F24 keys. So here is the thing:

    If you want to use e.g.: F22 as a shortcut in e.g.: Plasma settings it will get regonized as Touchpad On instead of as F22: https://imgur.com/a/GiyhBwD

    The same goes for F13-F24:

    F13 -> Tools F14 -> Launch(7) F20 -> Microphone Mute F21 -> Touchpad Toggle ...

    The shortcuts do work but the key name is just not correct.

    I'd imagine that's because of the function keys on laptops..? But I am not using a laptop.

    Anways one way to "fix" this in X11 was to create a .Xmodmap file:

    keycode 191 = F13 F13 F13 keycode 192 = F14 F14 F14 [...] keycode 202 = F24 F24 F24

    and afterwars the system will regonize e.g.: F22 as F22: https://imgur.com/a/LB29wgo

    A .Xmodmap file does not work in Wayland. What are my options here?

    Thank you for your help.

    PS: I found a simliar question here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/remapping-keys-such-as-f13/10275/3 but not answer. I also found https://old.reddit.com/r/wayland/comments/x3tff6/adding_f13_f24_keys/kf36xa0/ but I want a real solution that works on the "user level" (like a .Xmodmap file in my home directory)...
