I have discovered a more reliable and versatile feature. It is a tool that encompasses various functions and offers the ability to customize multimedia keys with any other key. Surprisingly, I had been using this tool for years without realizing it had this particular function. It was a perfect fit when I finally discovered its capabilities. The tool I am referring to is Microsoft PowerToys, specifically the Keyboard Manager utility.
