Bug description

Pressing F13 in the shortcut dialog records Unidentified and fails to save.

xev reports X11 keycode 191 with keysym XF86Tools. Murmure’s native listener correctly maps raw keycode 191 to F13, but the frontend relies on WebKit’s KeyboardEvent.key.

Expected: capture and save f13, using the native keycode when WebKit reports Unidentified.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run Murmure in a Linux X11 session.
2. Open Settings → Shortcuts.
3. Select a shortcut to edit.
4. Press a key mapped to F13 (X11 keycode 191).
5. Observe that Murmure displays Unidentified and cannot save the shortcut.

Workaround

1. Quit Murmure.
2. Open ~/.local/share/com.al1x-ai.murmure/settings.json.
3. Set:

"record_shortcut": "f13"

4. Restart Murmure.

Hi, thanks for the report.

I aligned the frontend with the backend: shortcut capture now uses the native listener instead of WebKit's KeyboardEvent, so a key like F13 is recorded the same way it is detected. This point should be fixed in the next release.
