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.

You can make a keyboard shortcut in the settings that runs a script that simulates f7. From the top of my head

Installydotool:

yay -S ydotool
sudo systemctl enable --now ydotool

Create script~/f7.sh:

#!/bin/sh
ydotool key f7

chmod +x ~/f7.sh

Bind it via System Settings → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts → New → Script/Application.

Set trigger to e.g.Ctrl+Shift+F, Action to/home/youruser/f7.sh.
