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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, if you've used SDL any you'll get more familiar with crafting your own event structures and pushing them into the event loop. Done that a few times to change input mechanisms for various open source games and stuff like that. As for me, if I used Windows, I'd set the F14 key to display a tomcat when you press it, and F22 would put the computer in stealth mode. I don't know if Linux has any hidden function keys like that, but if so, maybe I should do something funny like that on Linux.

This is so useful. Cant remember which, but either iCUE (my mouse) or steelseries (my kb) doesn't list F13-24 keys, and I have 3 always on AHK scripts on tgose buttons, so now I can finally simplify those.

I've been doing exactly this for years. Whenever I get a mouse with a bunch of side buttons, I program them to be F13+ (along with modifiers for any "modes" the mouse might support). That way, I can intercept them with an AutoHotkey script to do whatever I want. Every time I do that, I have to create a new AHK script to send the F13-F24 keys (along with modifiers) to the mouse's mapping program. Now I won't have to redo it every time, I can just use Joe's program. That said, not all programs even WILL catch F13+, for example, the mapping program for Logitech and various lower-end devices like Redragon have all worked, but the one for Razer doesn't work, it refuses to accept F13+ when mapping buttons and keys. Just another reason I DESPISE Razer. 😒 Maybe I should just get an old PS1 keyboard with physical F13-F24 keys. 🤔 Either that, or I'll just create an Arduino device with physical keys for them. 🤷 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="227">3:47</a> Exactly. Years ago, I wrote an AHK script to let me easily map anything I want to every permutation of the function-keys, so when I got my first mouse or keyboard with extra programmable keys/buttons, I needed some unused scancodes. I checked the list and saw a bunch of unused ones like Kanji or Reset or whatever, but F13-F24 was just cleaner and more convenient and more universally supported (almost, **cough*Razer*cough** 😒). <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="244">4:04</a> C# 🤦 <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="285">4:45</a> AHK supports several different input methods, all of which are easy to use. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="293">4:53</a> Flashback to the old days of windows-programming with Visual Studio. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="387">6:27</a> Joe using hard-mode. 😂 AHK ftw.

I think if you look hard enough you can find a decent 122-key 3270-style keyboard that is fully PC-compatible. Not cheap though, but useful if you still use tn3270.

I use winforms because I am a relatively old fart (40-something) and I started Windows programming in VB3 for Windows 3.1. Now I do niche data-wrangling coding in C# where I am the only person who is going to use my applications, Winforms is still quick and easy, so I make little Winforms dialogs. I don't need to make "cross platform" or "beautifully modern" interfaces, so I don't.
