Extremely niche use case: When you're playing Celeste at a high level, you can never have too many jump buttons, for instance, there's a room in a custom map called dashless+ which involves doing a trick where you press 3 jump keys at once. being able to set up extra jump keys without any conflicts with system keys would prove useful

​@@WyattOShea I use f13 - f17 as controls when i am drawing. F13 to undo, f14 to redo, f15 to auto pick the colour where my mouse is, f16 to switch between pen and eraser and f17 to switch between two colours. I had a extra key thingie and it had f13 - f20 and i would just use that for my drawing tasks. I know all the above mentioned things can be done by pressing specific keys or holding a key while pressing with mouse but i found it much easier to do so. later i "accidently" broke my extra key thingie (i still have no idea what it is called but I just call it extra key thingie) and i just had to use my keyboard. Now that Joe has made it into a simple exe file, i can just use my mobile as secondary display via usb, the "F-key sender" would be on my mobile display and my drawing program on my laptop display and work easily. I know this sounds a really stupid use case of extra function keys but i just like it. I think it look cool (or maybe I am lazy). I also used to use f18 to mute and unmute on discord and f19 to defen. The above written use case is highly specific but hey I am lazy and if it can be automated with a button press, I should be automated with a button press, atleast for me.

I still use a keyboard named the OmniKey Ultra. This dates from at least 35 years ago, probably more. In its day, it was considered the best keyboard available anywhere, and nothing about that has changed, but for all the dedicated Windows function keys added to the lexicon in the interim. It has a separate register of so-called "special function" keys, which are just the 13-24 keys. When I got it, programs didn't naturally recognize those keys, so Omni included a DOS-based program allowing the user to program their usage. With several office moves, over the years that disk and program disappeared, and I never made significant use of the idea anyway. It probably wouldn't work in a modern Windows environment anyway. So, I'll give this a try, although I'm not yet sure what I will program the keys to do if it works.

Now I can have one web profile and one game profile and just remap the keybinds in the game instead of fiddling with the mouse software. A simple, easy to use software you only need to use once is close to perfect. Thank you.

I know from experience that SendInput sometimes has problem with being detected within Games when sent via a external Program and not a Driver. Tried this to automate fishing in MC, and SendInput would sometimes not work at all. I would use then Send Event as in KeyStrokes, basically the kbd_event, and it worked. Really depends on where you use it, since i guess some Programs just aren't that good at detecting External Program's SendInput If you're wondering which language, it's Autohotkey v1, Completely relied on Windows's own dlls and functions.

The 122-key keyboards are used for IBM 3270 and 5250 terminal emulation. Later PS/2s had BIOS support for the "host connect" keyboard with - of course - a PS/2 connection. Terminal emulation programs will typically just use [shift]+Fx for the upper row of function keys on a regular keyboard, and yes, they are used for some host functions. INT 15h, Function C0h reports whether there is 122-key keyboard support in BIOS - then there are INT 16h BIOS functions to get the keystrokes.

I typically assign shortcuts way too much actually because im about to go into surgery for carpal tunnel for that exact reason because its just my left hand i need the surgery for and thats typically my only hand I am doing shortcut key combinations with. Crazy huh? But yeah I have a stream deck and also I even make shortcuts to programs and put the shortcut keys i want to press to open them for alot of different things and ive almost run out of combinations to create for a lot of things. Specifically in XYplorer because I have made so many shortcuts to helping to manage either file renaming and clean up or copy and move to certain locations certain files and a whole lot more.

First off, using F13-F24 makes sense only if you have a software app using them (mostly industrial or banking apps). And if you need it, you can buy a kbd with 24 F-keys, as many have suggested. And I think in Windows you can enter these codes using the Shift key, ie Shirt+F1 enters F13, Shift+F2 F14 and so on.

I write AutoHotkey scripts and bind keys like F13 to F24 and use the Corsair iCUE software to bind keys to those function keys. My Corsair K95 is the 18 G-Key edition, so I also bind some of the other keys to Int1-6 and/or Lang1-9. Who knew those were also hidden hardware keys? AutoHotkey can see those keys using scan codes so you can bind to SC073:: for Int1 for example.

Last time i had to do this, i generated the fake inputs with the Autohotkey console. It's capable of sending inputs very reliably. But i already forgot how to do this. Autohotkey also has a simple UI framework and will package a script into a small-ish self contained executable for easy deployment. Perhaps i should make a tiny little USB keyboard with tiny little tact switches for the extended Fkeys that i misplace every time i need it. Based on the new one-dollar bluepill with the c6 version of the chip (32K flash, 10K RAM), which is just about capable enough of simple USB input tasks. The last batch that i got even has the correct USB pullup resistor! Only took them 10 years.

Its always "fun" to end up going into a lower level of the OS API rabbit hole. Just come up for air when you see electrons whizzing by.

When I was learning to program, the biggest problem I had was how to refill the holes created by the keypunch machine whenever I made a typo for the line of code I was writing.

How do you get the buttons to be held down for a certain amount of time?

Include all the 'linux-only' special keys and this'll be the ONLY free OSK out there that serves this. IDK any paid-for software that provides this too, actually. It's why i got here in the middle of my search, just now. Currently configuring a new midi gear i got to run macros on. In my setup, i'm forced to use an OSK. This program is a godsend. Too bad i'll have to find those 'linux-only' special keys on an OSK elsewhere. But still, can't be thankful enough for this!

f13-24 keys are such a blessing for macros because no software uses them, wish they were included in actual keyboards.

If they were included in actual keyboards then software would use them, and they would become useless for macros. ☹

Imagine if it was possible to connect another keyboard, however the keys on that one, could be remapped to shortcuts in programs like video editors or CAD, photo editing etc. and you just marked the keys of that extra keyboard with the assigned shortcuts.

Might as well have the whole keyboard, because people don't necessarily have full keyboard, but might want to assign those functions to mouse buttons etc.

My keyboard has 22*4 macro keys (steelseries apex 350 with 4 profiles) and my mouse has like 11 macro keys (steelseries rival 500), and I usually have trouble finding empty shortcuts to assign to them as macros. You just gave me 12*8 more options including the CRTL, ALT, SHIFT combos.
