Add Macbook Pro function keys to the Keychron K11 Max keyboard

Building on top of this post where I added a numeric keypad, in this post, we are going to remap the function keys to be similar to the Macbook Pro.

On the Keychron keyboard, the function keys match the ones on later Macbook Pro’s1 execpt for the following:

  • F4 is Spotlight Search.
  • F5 is Start Dictation.
  • F6 is Toggle Focus.

Start Dictation and Toggle Focus is not on the Keychron’s list of supported keys. So we remap with the following:

  • F4 is Spotlight Search.
  • F5 is Siri
  • F6 is Launchpad

Layer 2 (Mac/iOS mode) keymap is now:

Layer 2

You can load this entire keymap (all layers) onto your K11 Max (ANSI RGB KNOB) keyboard by importing this keymap (JSON) with Keychron’s launcher (menu Keymap -> button Import).
