Hi
This was solved 15 years ago according to the man pages
: acpi(4) , acpi_hp(4), acpi_toshiba(4) a.s.o.
/usr/src/sys/modules/acpi
some of it still works, but Modern laptops has diverged
from the keyboard function keys layouts of year 2010.
the code needs to be updated to cater for present laptop
models. but that should be a minor revision.
The difficult part is to gather the info on presently
availbel Laptop keyboards functionkey setup.

Hi ykla,
Sorry that it has taken so long to respond. I had an email filter
incorrectly set and missed your message.
Thanks for the suggestion. The Foundation's laptop project's scope
doesn't currently include this functionality, but it's good to hear
about what people are looking for from the laptop experience as this
can inform any future work that the Foundation commissions.
In the meantime, the best place to seek support for new laptop
functionality is to attend the Laptop and Desktop Working Group [1]
where a list of in-progress community and Foundation laptop work is
being maintained, and new items may be added.
I hope this helps,
Alice.

I would like to request a graphical utility that lets users customize
FN key combinations on laptops—for example: brightness, volume, HDMI
switching, mute, airplane mode, and Wi-Fi toggle.
Adapting each key combination for every laptop individually is
impractical, and asking users to edit DSDT/SSDT files is too
technically demanding. A user-friendly tool would make this process
much easier and accessible to more users.
Thank you for considering this feature request.
