What would this feature do?

On macOS, it would be very handy to have access to the Command key as an option to trigger shortcuts with.

Ideally (I know it's trickier from a scripting perspective), it would also be handy to have access to the "fn" key for the same purpose (not the "f1", "f2", etc. keys, but the "fn" key itself, as in "fn + 1" to insert an <h1>, or "fn + p" to insert a <p> element)

What would be this feature settings?

Hello @jrmyfranck,

I am using a third party package to help me with keyboard shortcuts, therefore Structeezy is dependant on what the library supports (already a lot).

Using command should be fine. For fn I have to check because I am not sure that fn triggers a keycode by itself.

Let me check what can be done with the current library, or look for another one.

Yeah, as I mentioned, I know fn can be quite a bit trickier.
It would be the icing on the cake, but command would be a great start (in fact, it would probably be sufficient for 99% of users so, if finding an alternative library proves to be challenging, that may be enough).

I am preparing an update to be released shortly (hopefully today) and will see what can be done.
If not for this one, it will be the next.

I confirm pressing the fn key by itself doesn't trigger a keydown event. It is unlikely I can have a simple solution for that.

Mac command key should trigger to the Meta key code, which should also be triggered by the Windows key. There should be a solution for this one.
