I'm not on Ventura yet (will be in a few weeks, when I'll receive my new mini). I'm wondering about how to setup the "empty" keys on Apple's TouchID extended keyboard, specifically the F13 to F19 keys. I know that we could associate some operations with keys combo in the new "Settings" menu, but apparently we can't do it (or can we?) for these special empty keys (F13-F19), while maintaining the normal default F1 to F12 keys (i.e Screen Luminosity, Search, Dictate, Sound Volume, etc).
So as three specific examples, I would like to know how we can map a full screen capture operation to the F13 key (instead of using the usual Command-Shift-3 combo), map F16 key to open a specific app (say the Mail app) and get it in foreground, and map F19 to open a specific folder (say, the Home folder), while switching to the Finder at the same time to get that folder open in the foreground. Is that possible, or would I have to use a special app to customize the free F keys?
There appears to be a lot of preferences configurations possible in the new "Settings" menu of Ventura, so I would be very surprised and deceived if we couldn't do these mappings without the use of a special app (I used Spark, on a very old system).
