I have also a keyboard like that and the only key that does not work by default is the "calculator" key that is over the numerical section. FWIW I am using plasma (kde) on X11. I am not sure if this is different on wayland based desktops. Each key as an associated code (that I can see with xev), e.g. the key to play/pause media is associated with XF86AudioPlay. Actually most of the time the names are self-evident. This is similar to what happens when you press the Fn key together with the associated orange key the code is the same XF86AudioPlay. Actually I have these two options at the same time, if possible I always like to work with an external keyboard on my laptop. So I would expect that those keys should work by default without any configuration. Regards, -- José Matos
