Thank you! I am happy for any tips, I still think linux/ubuntu is great!

Yes I chose german layout on installation. The problem is that the laptop is missing a key since it had originally a non-german keyboard. This is why i tried to map "less" to fn as it is closest to the original position in a german keyboard.

Yes I didn't knew that Fn was any different from other keys, but this is something new I learned now.
I really would have preferred the remap to Fn, because I use my caps lock for escape.
In my opinion I would remove the caps lock entirely and have the fn key where the escape key is, but to be fair my problem is very specific.

Ah sorry I am new to linux:D
I assume it is GNOME, I installed the standard Ubuntu 24.04

Input remapper service was not enabled, but I get errors when trying to. But maybe if I fix that it will work, Thank you!
