Enable function keys (F5, F6) on Keychron keyboards on macOS for VSCode and IntelliJ

Learn how to enable function keys (F5, F6) on Keychron keyboards for better compatibility with VSCode and IntelliJ on macOS.

One weird thing that bothered me for a while, but I was too lazy to get into it was the fact that whenever I connected my external keyboard to my MacBook, shortcuts with F5 and F6 keys didn't work in VSCode and possibly in IntelliJ. The reason wasn't macOS, but the keyboard. To make them work, use this combination: fn + K + C to enable F5 and F6 as function keys.
