Key bindings for F13-F24

I'm trying to Create Hotkeys using F13-F24 but when I press the keys they don't see to get recorded by Multiplicity.

Thought I'd reach out and see if anyone has tried this before.

Based on a previous customer report, unfortunately the standard windows control for setting hotkeys is unaware of F13-F24 which is why you cannot set those keys as hotkeys in Multiplicity.

Sorry that seems a little confusing to me. Are you saying that windows doesn't support F13-24?

Sorry, what I mean is we use a standard Windows control for entering hotkeys. Based on a customer report before, it seems this specific control isn't aware of those keys. Possibly an oversight by Microsoft.

Because of this Multiplicity cannot accept those as hotkeys. If you know the scancodes of those keys it might be possible to directly edit the registry to create a hotkey entry however.

The other thing to try is if shift plus say f11 triggers when you press f13 as there are suggestions that might be a mapping used by Windows sometimes.

Yeah Editing the keys at \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\Multiplicity2\HotKeys\ with the keycodes does not seem to update in Multiplicity.
In fact setting the hot key in Multiplicity then deleting it from the registry seems to have no effect on the app (even with full unloading) I've not tried after a reboot yet though. So I suspect it's stored somewhere else too?
