    You can make a keyboard shortcut in the settings that runs a script that simulates f7. From the top of my head

    Installydotool:

    yay -S ydotool
sudo systemctl enable --now ydotool

    Create script~/f7.sh:

    #!/bin/sh
ydotool key f7

    chmod +x ~/f7.sh

    Bind it via System Settings → Shortcuts → Custom Shortcuts → Edit → New Group → (enable it) → Edit → New → Global Shortcut → Command/URL. Set trigger to e.g.Ctrl+Shift+F, Action to/home/youruser/f7.sh.

    If Custom Shortcuts is unavailable, usexremap with:

    modmap:
  - remap:
      Ctrl-Shift-f: F7
