Send function keys from i3
Hello,
I have mapped my function keys to worspace switching. Now, I have a new keyboard which has extra keys that are mapped to XF86Launch1 to 9.
I would like to re-map those back to function keys, because they are out of reach, but I still want to keep the possibility to use function keys.
I tried to do it in XModMap, but without any success. What it does is it remaps but then i3wm changes the workspace:
keycode 192 = F1
Is there any way to remap or send the proper key within i3wm configuration using exec command?
To me, it seems like everything behaves like you intended. Pressing the button that formerly sent XF86Launch1 now sends F1 and so on, thus i3 switches workspaces as you configured it to switch workspaces on F1 to F12. Pleasy clarify.
Yeah. I understand. What I want to have: F1 - switch workspace while XF86Launch1 would generate "F1" key. Basically, I want to swap them.
