@Harsh-007-max Have you actually set them in your config?

[Harsh-007-max]

Yes I have @crimsonduelist @ikalco wev doesn't recognise the key press at all. I thoroughly checked it out and couldn't find the solution

[crimsonduelist]

mind sharing the lines u ve set ? is it like binde=Fn, F10, exec, etc

wev doesn't recognise the key press at all.

would either mean your keyboard is broke or that the keybinds are activating but the commands you put in the exec are just not what you'd expect so they fail or do something else you dont notice
