I have extra keys on my keyboard and I need for it! They works in OBS on Windows.
I'm on Kubuntu 20.04; I found that my xmodmap wasn't mapping F13 through F24 (i.e., the window system is never supplying those keypresses). Once I xmodmapped the keys to actually be F13 through F24 (instead of e.g. XF86Activity5) they've generally worked.
(My copy of obs-studio on Kubuntu doesn't seem to recognize the XF86* Keycodes, which is what F13 through F24 were sending.)
Here's the contents of my $HOME/.Xmodmap file that gets F13 through F25 working for me on Kubuntu:
Note that you may need to log out and back in for the new settings to take effect, or run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" to get the new settings loaded.
