# Hardware Setup

## Special Function Keys

Onlywo keys can be remaped to use on DE, Fn+F4 (P1 key) and Fn+F5 (ECO key). Other Fn keys work out of the box, but Fn+F7 (SHIFT key) and Fn+F10 (Airplane Mode) can't be recognized.

    Fn keys Scancodes

    0xef # P1 key
    0xce # ECO key

One method to remap it is as systemd service:

    /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/setp1key.service

    [Unit]
    Description=Setkeycode P1 Key

    [Service]
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 0xef 202

    [Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
