Function keys stuck fix for Framework Laptop

UPDATE: The issue seems to have been fixed in BIOS 3.09, so this is no longer needed

Keys that have another function ability can stick on Linux, as described in this post:

Fixing most keys by forcing synthetic key release

Read documentation here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/hwdb.d/60-keyboard.hwdb

To fix all the keys except Brightness Down, Brightness Up, and Projector using systemd/udev's synthetic force release ability:

1. Clone this project

2. cd folder and run
   sudo cp 70-keyboard-framework-fix.hwdb /etc/udev/hwdb.d or just do it manually by

   1. Creating /etc/udev/hwdb.d/70-keyboard-framework-fix
   2. Paste in this file 70-keyboard-framework-fix.hwdb

3. Run
   sudo systemd-hwdb update
sudo udevadm trigger --verbose --sysname-match="event*"
   (This may need to be run more than once, due to a possible bug, to actually change.)
   You may also need to restart your computer.

4. Verify changes with:
   udevadm info /sys/class/input/event2

Speedrun (use at your discretion)

sudo cp 70-keyboard-framework-fix.hwdb /etc/udev/hwdb.d && sudo systemd-hwdb update && sudo udevadm trigger --verbose --sysname-match="event*" && sudo systemd-hwdb update && sudo udevadm trigger --verbose --sysname-match="event*" && udevadm info  /sys/class/input/event2

Uninstall

1. Remove the custom udev rules file:

   rm /etc/udev/hwdb.d/70-keyboard-framework-fix.hwdb

2. Run:

   sudo systemd-hwdb update
   sudo udevadm trigger --verbose --sysname-match="event*"

3. Then reboot.
