The Vision
Currently, customizable keys can be assigned only one function, with some toggling between F-keys and media controls using the Fn key. But what if we could make these custom keys even more powerful? Here’s the concept:

Primary Action (Single Press): When pressed alone, the custom key performs a primary action you choose, like launching an app or a specific shortcut.

Secondary Action (With Fn Key): Holding Fn while pressing the custom key could trigger an entirely different action, just like how the current Fn key switches F-keys to media controls. This would allow, for example, a custom key to mute/unmute audio normally, but switch tracks when Fn is held down.

Extended Modifier Actions (Ctrl, Alt, Ctrl + Alt): Let’s add even more depth! With Options+, allow us to assign different actions for these combinations:

Ctrl + Custom Key: An action that can boost productivity, such as opening specific documents or launching multi-step macros.
Alt + Custom Key: Perhaps a feature that triggers a settings menu or tool within a program.
Ctrl + Alt + Custom Key: For those extra complex workflows, this could trigger multi-step processes or shortcuts across apps, taking customization to a professional-grade level.
Why This is a Game-Changer
This multi-layered functionality turns a single custom key into a suite of personalized shortcuts, empowering users to streamline repetitive tasks and significantly enhance productivity. For example:

Designers could assign different Photoshop tools across modifier combinations.
Developers could link to commonly used code snippets or commands.
Power Users could manage workflows like toggling virtual desktops, initiating multi-step macros, or jumping between apps – all with one custom key.
The Benefits
This feature would add a new layer of flexibility and power to Logitech keyboards, enhancing both daily productivity and personalized workflows without requiring additional software or devices. It also keeps the user experience intuitive, allowing users to layer complexity without overwhelming them – each action is accessible through familiar combinations.

With this enhancement, Options+ would cater to professionals, creatives, and productivity enthusiasts who value seamless and efficient customization options. Let’s make every key press count – vote for Multi-Layer Customizable Keys in Options+!
