Remap to F13

[mrak]

I like to then map F13 to things like a drop-down terminal, etc.

Hah, is F13 even a key?

None of the (newer) laptop or external Apple keyboards in the office have one. What kind of keyboard are you using?

[mrak]

Mac OS X will recognize F13 as a key to receive.

Yep, I've seen keyboards that go up to F19. On my previous non-retina MBP I had the eject key mapped to F13, which I could then map in other applications, like the drop-down iTerm2 hotkey.

One of my coworkers had her setup like this:

Eject -> F13 -> Alfred Fn + Eject -> Eject

That would be the Eject key remapped via KeyRemapper4macbook. Then the global hotkey of F13 used to launch Alfred :)

Oh, you want to send an F13 when you press the power key? I misunderstood.

NSMenuItem *f13 = [[NSMenuItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"F13" action:NULL keyEquivalent:@""];
f13.tag = kVK_F13;
[powerKeyOptions addItem:f13];

If you add that to the bottom of the - (NSMenu *)powerKeyOptions method, you'll be able to send F13 via Powerkey.

I may add support for other keys in the next version. Feel free to add the above to your local version, for now!

Awesome. Sounds good. Could you flag this as an enhancement until the decision is made to include/not include it upstream?

Thanks!
