How to make the extra Keyboard Keys Togglable

Hi!, I'm trying to game on termux and while the key stroke of normal keyboard is too short to do any kind of movement, i noticed that the extra Ctrl key on termux and x11 is togglable and they can be edited, does anyone know how to add more keys like that to the extra keys row?

Termux config file extra-keys = [[ \ {key: ESC, popup: {macro: "CTRL f d", display: "tmux exit"}}, \ {key: CTRL, popup: {macro: "CTRL f BKSP", display: "tmux ←"}}, \ {key: ALT, popup: {macro: "CTRL f TAB", display: "tmux →"}, togglable: true}, \ {key: TAB, popup: {macro: "ALT a", display: A-a}}, \ {key: LEFT, popup: HOME}, \ {key: DOWN, popup: PGDN}, \ {key: UP, popup: PGUP}, \ {key: RIGHT, popup: END}, \ {macro: "ALT j", display: A-j, popup: {macro: "ALT g", display: A-g}}, \ {key: KEYBOARD, popup: {macro: "CTRL d", display: exit}} \ ]] I think the alt key was already togglable but ill try with anotherone

popup is not the same thing it's lit just a popup when you hold it not a toggle

idk then go use winlator if you're gonna game because termux is horribly unsuited for that:p also if its broken, dont ask here because it's not a termux related project oh wait you're linux gaming
