GMMK2 Adding Fn + any key combination.

[qwoot]

Let’s use an example. I’d like for F5 key to retain it’s original function (refreshing the website) But I also want to have physical combination of keyboard’s “Fn key” + "F5 "to mute my volume. Can such basic thing be done?

I don’t think the GMMK2 natively supports layers.

Changing the function layer

I’ve been meaning to ask this for a long time, but on the GMMK 2 and/or GMMK Pro, how do I change the function layer keys? For example, I’d like to change FN + Up Arrow to volume up rather than the brightness setting it is now. There’s a layering function in Core, but it doesn’t seem to do what I think is traditional considered to be how layers work. I really like both of my Glorious keyboards, but the inability to change this has prevented me from using them.

Core gives me access to 3 layers. Is there really no way to add some Fn combination to a key?

I think they operate more as switching profiles rather than actual layers. Essentially you’re cycling through them vs having a hot key. You’re going to have to use FN+CTL+ALT+(Up or Down) to switch your layers. So if you want to use just the Fn key, no you’re going to need to flash it with QMK or something

Yeah, I haven’t been able to figure this out, either. It looks like GMMK layers are not equivalent to QMK/VIA layers.
