I am using i3wm with ubuntu 20.04. I would like to Fn+Left/Right work as End/Home like in my previous laptop. I know how to make bindsyn in i3wm config but I cannot find Fn code. I used xev but it show nothing after click Fn button. On my laptop Fn+Left/Right do nothing more than single Left/Right.

I am using lenovo legion for now.

I will be very happy if you will give me any idea how to get this key code or how to resolve my problem some other ways.

Thanks in advance, Simon

@Edit

As long as it not possible I think that maybe Alt+Left/Right would be good for me. I look in internet and found out that this should work well

bindsym --release mod1+Right exec --no-startup-id xdotool key --clearmodifiers End

I thought that Shift+Alt+Right will select from curson till end of line while it select at end of file :D

Can I kindly ask to explain why it's like that and how maybe I could resolve it? Thanks!

As you experience yourself, the Fn key of your laptop is not recognized by the operating system. It is a key that modifies the behaviour of other keys on the keyboard as defined by the manufacturer. You cannot access or redefine the Fn key in software.
