Add "fn" key

[kylejbrk]

As far as I can tell there is not support for adding the "fn" or "function" key as a modifier.

This would be a great feature to have.

is anyone able to give an update on this request?

Please "fn" key

The OS doesn't even see those 'volume up/down' type keys at all, they're acted on before the interpreter even sees them. I can demonstrate this for Mac using an on-screen key-code interpreter, but idk how to show it for Win"

Therefore if you want to simulate a fn+key press, you have to send the virtual key corresponding to them

What I don’t get about this is that karabiner elements CAN interpret the fn key. Unless I’m hallucinating..
