Description of the new feature / enhancement

Visible action when FN key is pressed so that a combination of i.e. "FN+2" or "FN+Alt gr+H" trigger a sequence of keystrokes or even more complicated shortcuts.

Scenario when this would be used?

i.e.
In games for shortcuts in heated battles :)
For inserting your signature in Outlook when composing an Email (Alt+i+t+s+Enter)
and so on

Supporting information

I tried using the FN key in the keyboard shortcut manager but nothing happened.
I am using the Logitech PRO X TKL. Its Logitech Software functions are not really helpful since you can only combine the FN key with the F keys above the row with the digits which is NOT very handy!

Fn key itself tends to be a hardware level key and we can't detect it. Things like Fn+F12, that can trigger different things and actually the driver executes it. We're looking at maybe scancodes to override this but sadly, some stuff at our level, just can't do. /helpeduser
