Unreal Engine utilizes f (function) keys. On a textfield on the config window e.g. "Editor Preferences -> General -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Possess or Eject Player" I see f8 is assigned by default but when I type in any key the textfield fills in with the name of the key I type in (e.g. if I type in backspace, the filed shows so). But I don't see any f keys show up on that textfield. Am I missing anything?

I DO see F keys e.g. f1 DOES mute OS'operating system's audio output, so the OS is taking in f-key inputs, but for the same f1 key, the aforementioned config window on Unreal Engine doesn't show its name when the key is pressed.

  • Unreal Engine 5.5 (compiled locally from source)
  • OS: Ubuntu 22.04
  • Device: Thinkpad p16s

UPDATE-1. The original observation was done on an external USB keyboard. Now, on the laptop's dedicated keyboard:

  • on the config window I DO see the input from the function keys (e.g. F7, F8) are recognized, but with Fn key pressed together.
  • But on Play Mode, F8 (pressed with Fn) that is supposed to trigger "eject" does NOT trigger it.
