f15 key not working on actions panel

[sublimechaos]

hello fine community,

Using Mac Illustrator 28.7.3 and cannot get the f15 key to work when assigned in the actions palette on my wired extended keyboard with numpad.
I've disabled the brightness+/- in the system and flipped the toggle to use fn as function keys already, so that key should work... but it isn't.

Works if i use another fn1-14 key, but all attempts to assign f15 have failed. 

I noticed in the actions code that illustrator uses a "keyIndex" as opposed to a UI raw usage code 106 (decimal) or 6A (hexadecimal)... is that part of the problem? Can i specify the correct one... as far as i can tell the f15-f19 keys on my keyboard are not assigned to anything and i'd love to use them without installing a 3rd party key mapper. 

The keyset (from keyboard shortcuts) doesnt allow me to specify a specific menu item (script), otherwise i'd ignore actions altogether, but hopefully someone here has experience with at least getting f15 to work properly. Any help is appreciated!

does anyone else have the f15 error?
the script runs fine if i run it manually... but if i have the action palette "insert menu" for it with f15, it does nothing.
maybe i need to compile an apple script to make illustrator recognize it?

No, f15 doesn't work for me. Everything up to f14 works on my extended keyboard, but not f15. Maybe a third-party app (i.e. Keyboard Maestro) could catch the event and fire a script that runs the action for you.
