            Bug ID: 477710
           Summary: Allow Fn key shortcuts on Mac-compatible keyboards
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: NixOS
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: me at dblsaiko.net
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
On Apple keyboards (and keyboards which are compatible with Macs, like the
Keychron K8 which I have), the Fn key is passed through to the computer. In
wev, this key shows up as XF86Fn (0x100811D0) when pressed. It would be great
to be able to bind this key as part of a key combination in KDE applications or
Plasma global shortcuts, for example, binding Full Screen to Fn+F like on
macOS.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into a KDE application's key binding options
2. Set shortcut to some Fn key combination, for example Fn+F

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens (in Plasma shortcuts) or the shortcut is set to just F (for
example, in Konsole)

EXPECTED RESULT
The shortcut is set to Fn+F
