TIL How to Use the Mac's `fn` Key with Keyboard Maestro

TIL that when you use the venerable keyboard customizer Karabiner Elements on macOS, Karabiner will emit a USB device key signal for the fn/🌐 key. This is great because I can now tell Keyboard Maestro (and likely BetterTouchTool, too) to use a fn press as a macro trigger!

For example, this is how it looks when I configured ⌘fn as such a trigger:

A Keyboard Maestro "USB device key" trigger configured to react to the user pressing the `fn` key when the modifier `⌘` is active

Useful!
