Can't press that key: F35 (feddit.de)

Apparently there is a F35 Key within xkbcommon.

I know about F1-24 where the upper level was accessible by holding down a modifier key; So how are keys beyond this issued via a keyboard (my keyboard is qwerty, de_DE if of interest)?

And... why the fuck was it a good idea to expand the function keys beyond 24?

I would love to have that many keys. means I could program my keyboard to output those on certain layers and tie them directly to unused IDE actions. Because no software maker is going to use those keys by default since no keyboard has them. But my keyboard can have them :D

I'm coming from a similar direction... Spotted those. If they would have been easily accessible I would have used them as defaults for a certain functionality. Your link and reply implies that such keys need to be physicallz available!

Thank you for your confimation. An note that in GTK+ programs you could use them for your shortcuts!
