I used to use autohotkey to send an F13 key press every couple minutes to avoid lockout on a work computer where I wasn't allowed to increase the timeout

Wait is Function keys above F12 still addressable?

It’s Windows, so backwards compatibility mandates F13-F24 exist.

Which keyboard is this? I'm a keyboard-only user and would love to have an extra row of keys for shortcuts.

Can't speak for the parent, but Apple USB keyboards have F13-F19.
