I used to have one of those old server keyboards. F13 was a combination of alt or shift or control combined with F1 through F12.
Tested it with the scan codes the thing produced (when every hacker still used a paper reference) so while promising, collisions will happen as you will not get new combos.

This only applies if the operating system on the computer, like Microsoft Windows, attempts to switch the keyboard to Scan Code Set 2. Linux implementations typically choose to use Scan Code Set 3, if it is available, by default, and therefore a 122-key keyboard, under Linux, will behave more like a 101-key keyboard instead of like an 84-key keyboard. This, however, brings with it its own set of problems, because some less-expensive keyboards are known to have problems with their Scan Code Set 3 implementations.
...Which is why I'm a Linux zealot. I use Windows when forced to, but ever since I discovered Slackware/RedHat Linux back in the day I've never looked back. Windows has gotten better over the years, of course, but Linux is like Windows on steroids...without the side-effects. xP
Aah, good times, bro(grammer). Good times. =) Sometimes I almost miss the "good old days" when things were simpler and a Commodore64 or '286 were top-o-the-line, cutting edge. Glad I'm not the only "OG" hacker/geek. x)

Interesting as I haven’t had a collision (yet!)
I wonder if I have just been lucky, going to have to investigate now.
I don’t often say this but I really hope you are wrong! 😜🤣
Thank you for the heads up as some of those bindings are linked to some things that if say 2 ran at once it could cause havoc, much appreciated! ❤️
Your welcome, have you found any collisions yet?
quadibloc.com/comp/scan.htm has a lot of detail about it
