How to configure `config.h` for `dwm` to have screenshare button work?
I am facing issue while using the screen share/ presentation button to work in my `dwm` as I want to use for projector presentation as well. I am using `XF86keysym.h` header files info in the config.h below. So I want know what do I need to add to have this functionality to my laptop. My laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 3 (15ITL6/82H8).
Here's my `config.h` template:

#include <X11/XF86keysym.h>

It actually opens up my `rofi` based `powermenu`... ?

Looks like `powermenu` is bound to <Mod4>+p so change that line to run your sharing thingy.

Re: How to configure `config.h` for `dwm` to have screenshare button work?
For explanation, it's actually fairly common these days that keyboards have keys that don't generate unique symbols, but just fire the windows shortcut for the action.
In this case win+p for the "project mode"
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Is it possible to assign that key value by assigning `Xf86keysym.h` to that of the button `F7`? I kind of want to keep my `Super+P` for powermenu as it's like in my muscle memory now. Therefore as you can see how I used that header values and mapping to use volume up/down and play/pause... So I wanted to know can I extract a key variable which represents my `F7` and assign it to project mode...
I hope my lack of english is not affecting me explain my situation here.

Re: How to configure `config.h` for `dwm` to have screenshare button work?
No, the key simply shortwires that shortcut - the OS cannot see a difference between you pressing super+p and you pressing this key.
Not the kernel, not he display server, not any cilent - the mapping happens in the hardware.

You could, however, just use F7 if that's the key the symbol is on. Just don't hold the Fn key with it.
