There is a section on the komorebi docs site about the exact format expected for key codes: https://lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/example-configurations.html#key-codes

I think it's worth adding this same snippet to the readme here for people who are planning to use whkd independently of komorebi.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm actually formatting the keycodes according to the documentation, but without any luck: grafik grafik

I think I see the issue, which is related to restrictions in the Win32 API for registering hotkeys: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-registerhotkey

Only a valid fsModifier as listed in the Win32 docs can be used as a mod key. This should also be documented explicitly given how popular open source keyboard firmwares that allow remapping of keys like f24 have become now.

That explains the issue! Thanks for clarifying!
