From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So, you can get a mini keypad to go with your mini keyboard and that mini keypad can have programmable keys.....
Or, you could just designate some keys on your 67% to be rotatably programmable.
My 60% keyboard has fn1 and fn2 keys, so I have done things like fn1-Esc = ` and fn2-Esc = ~ you can fn up your whole numeric row for whatever you usually need.
i mean i have a stream deck, and open deck has a "simulate input" key, but its really confusing
My fn2-# keys are the F# keys, it's not too bad, even F11 and F12 are just the next two keys to the right of 0
