KDE's shortcut recorder fails to detect the key because it sends Meta+Shift+F23 and KDE ignores the F23 component. The solution is to use keyd to intercept the key at a lower level and translate it to a custom shortcut (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12) that KDE can recognize. The tutorial covers installing keyd, identifying the keyboard by vendor/product ID, verifying the key's output, creating a keyd config file scoped to the specific keyboard, reloading the service, and finally assigning the remapped shortcut in KDE System Settings. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
