Oh, please, tell me what the Framework key (F12) does. Is it programmable? I cannot figure it out
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
It sends a keycode known as “Media Select” from the extended multimedia key set (0xE0, 0x50
). Typically, that means it will launch a media player.
You can bind it to do whatever you please. If you’re using xbindkeys
, for example, you would call it XF86AudioMedia
. Various window managers and desktop environments offer different functionality for keyboard binding.
@DHowett Can you please tell me how to map this to compose key on Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro? And is it also applicable for wayland?
On Manjaro GNOME (Wayland) I remapped alt-F12 (FW key) to the Manjaro Toolkit terminal app (gnome-terminal – /usr/bin/bmenu) and ctrl-alt-F12 to hybrid sleep.
It was pretty trivial using Settings->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts.
It really depends on your Desktop Environment/Window manager. This is not specific to Framework.
Tell us which setup you’re using (Distro, Window Server (Xorg, Wayland)) and it’s Desktop Environment/Window Manager and we can help you.
