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)...
