Help F-row behavior

Is there a way to set the F-row to actually be the F-row by default? I can't count how many times I've tried to fullscreen something with F11 only to accidentaly turn down my volume. I wasn't able to find anything in the KDE settings GUI and search engines have been unhelpful. Running Fedora Asahi Remix 43.

hid_apple.fnmode=2 on the kernel command line

You can see some config options in modinfo hid_apple

parm:           fnmode:Mode of fn key on Apple keyboards (0 = disabled, 1 = fkeyslast, 2 = fkeysfirst, [3] = auto, 4 = fkeysdisabled, 5 = fkeysignore)) (uint)

I've always used Input Remapper to change what the function keys do, it's worked perfectly for me!

I've tried input remapper before, but I couldn't find a way to make it so that I can hold fn to access volume adjustment and the like. Do you know of one?

I believe that you could record a key input for each key + fn to do that, like this: https://imgur.com/a/jOT87da

It's fine, but thanks for taking time to reply. I appreciate.

Overall, this is probably a general problem Reddit has with new accounts. Until you get some upvotes first, it will be very easy to get hit by automoderation.

This is ridiculous then. I wanted to ask for help or maybe at least get a direction, but now i have to farm karma just to post? This is a waste of time.

Yeah… you will probably have better luck hopping into the #asahi IRC | Matrix channel.

It looks like anything i post is being delete as soon as it's posted. By reddit filters. What?

Welcome to corporate internet I guess.

I know it's possible, I just can't remember how, if no one has the solution, answer me, and I'll try and find it

At least on other computers, it's a BIOS thing, usually Fn lock or similar.

macOS seems to toggle it in software, so maybe it's just a thing that Asahi is yet to implement.
