## Set F13-F24 as usual function keys
By default, F13-F24 are mapped by xkb as various "XF86" keysyms. These cause binding
issues in many programs. One example is OBS Studio, which does not detect the XF86
keysyms as usable keybindings, making you unable to use them for binds. This option
simply maps them back to the expected F13-F24 values, which are bindable as normal.

This option was only added recently to `xkeyboard-config`. Please ensure you are on version
2.43 or greater for this option to do anything.

## Minimize windows using special workspaces
This approach uses special workspaces to mimic the "minimize window" function, by using a single keybind to toggle the minimized state.
Note that one keybind can only handle one window.
