I'm trying to make a macro keyboard by using Input Remapper, and when I'm pressing F20 and F23, they seem to be system wind keybinds for something, F20 being a volume toggle and F23 bringing up an icon I can't identify. I checked in system settings>keyboard>shortcuts and couldn't find anything to disable. Does anyone happen to know how to disable them and if theres any other shortcuts like that I should be aware of?
#Keys F20 and F23 mapped to system functions?

Does that keyboard have an Fn key? If so, you may be encountering secondary functions through Fn lock.

it doesn't

i remember some media keys internally identify as numlock-something-something, so that could be issue

im using "0" and "./del" as 20 and 23 if it maters
on a side note, is the "00" key seemingly just sending the "0" key twice something I'm able to control at all or is that likely just something in the hardware?

Probably something on the controller board inside the keyboard. It is an old thing from POS (point-of-sale = cashier) terminals to speed up entering sums. But in Cinnamon, you can simply test this. Go to the keyboard settings, shortcuts, and try to set it to something. This will show as what it registers internally.

That sounds like it is just single key sent twice, as you suspected. So not useful beyond actually entering prices. It is a POS keypad after all.

fair enough, would still like to figure out the F20 and F23 though

What Stunner said sounds plausible. In which case you might try with NumLock on/off and see if there is a configuration where you do not encounter the problem. Otherwise, try remapping until you got it the way you like.
