From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Lots of talk of remapping. Probably worth it if you'll need to push F7 really regularly. However you will have to sacrifice another key for that.

On screen virtual keyboard might be better. Can just bring it up, click the key with the mouse and go back to normal.

Covers any key your 67% might be missing and you don't need to remap and lose a key to F7

there is one key i barely use so thats not an issue, and i have a streamdeck. i dont think the virtual keyboard would be good for this program tho
