I got confirmation from the keyboard team that 0x6e is the scancode from F23, and is common for all PC vendors for Windows.

They pointed me at this page as confirmation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/about-keyboard-input#scan-codes
(F23 is in the table of scan codes)

Does that make this patch valid again for consideration, in your opinion?

Thanks
Mark
