Description
soft-fn reproduces the behavior of the Chromebook keyboard's Search key in linux. It uses an evdev uinput device, such that it works in Xorg, Wayland, and virtual consoles. The function keys F1-F10 are effectively remapped to back/forward/reload etc. Use the Search key to get an actual F1-F10. Search+arrows are home/end/Pg up/dn, and Search+alt toggles caps lock.
This build of soft_fn uses the latest git master as some changes appear to be unreleased in the upstream project.
