You can remap any keypress that reaches Windows by editing the registry, as described here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/2155/Keyboard-Rema... (2011, but works with Windows 10)

Unfortunately many "Fn" keys are handled purely in hardware and Windows can't see them. But it might be worth a look, if you haven't already tried it.

AutoHotKey is also useful, especially if you want more complex hotkeys.

And xmodmap is the de-facto solution for X11-based Unix machines. Rebind your keys in an ~/.xmodmaprc that is run at startx by your ~/.xinitrc.
