I would like to make a function key be a hotkey, but Autokey complains
that I must have a modifier key with it. I was using a video program
called Miro which has a fullscreen function, and I wanted to make it
recognize F11 as a trigger for fullscreen, like most Gnome video apps,
but I had to make it <super>+<F11> as otherwise I got a complaint
dialog. Can it be made to accept just F11 ?

Thanks,
Patrick

At the moment this is not possible. The issue is not just the
validation in the dialog, but at every level within AutoKey, a hotkey
is defined as a chord with at least one modifier key. It would require
fairly extensive modification to get single-key hotkeys working. It's
something I have thought about in the past, but never really looked
into further.
