I want to program a key to send the same keycode that my Macbook Air’s built in keyboard sends when I press the fn key on the built in keyboard.
I’ve looked through what appear to be the available keycodes here and I don’t see any that would make sense.
The screenshot below is what Karabiner EventViewer reports when I press this key.
You can’t, unfortunately. It’s not a USB HID key code of any sort, so external keyboards are not capable of sending it.
Oh wow, interesting!
Out of curiosity, do you know how Apple’s own external keyboards send it? Some proprietary magic?
There was a big exegesis on that topic a few years ago from QMK: The Apple Fn Key · Issue #2179 · qmk/qmk_firmware · GitHub
