Hey guys, so I'm using an Apple Magic wired keyboard, Fedora Linux (from Windows 11), and I used Input Remapper to edit the lock key (top right) and turned it into a delete key. 

This key works fine generally on Fedora and when I use Zen Browser and w3m browser, but not Chromium. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks!

Alright I figured it out.

Run a command through the chromium app when it launches...

Click the fedora icon >> search 'Chromium web browser' >> right click Chromium Web Browser >> click Edit Application... >> General tab >> in Command-line arguments put, "chromium-browser --ozone-platform=x11 %U" but without the quotes. That basically makes it so chromium doesn't run on wayland. You don't want that because it looks at the layers of inputs and devices differently. Xwayland works better because it see's and utilizes Input Remapper.
