Add Macro keys to keyboard layout

Keyboard: Redragon Yama k550

Natively the keyboard recognizes it to me quite well. The only drawback I have is that the macro keys (G1-G12) are recognized as F1-F12.

Is there a way that this is not the case and you can identify them as separate keys from the F?

I ask this too, because beyond the macro, I am using the Autokey application and I would like to have the macro keys as shortcuts. Is that possible?

Not the optimal solution to the question maybe, but it solves my need to make macros work as shortcuts.

What I did was install the Autokey application

Then, in the hotkey configuration I put a combination such as "shift + F1" and that does the function I need.

Then record a macro on the macro keys with "shift + F1", let's say in the macro G12

So when I press the macro G12, it applies what I have saved in the shortcut "shift + F1"

In this way, I can even have a python script executable with a macro key.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
