The keys F13-F24 are defined valid keys and enjoy some niche use by people looking to bind hotkeys to actions without getting into the space already defined on their keyboard.
Not only does this plugin make it extraordinarily hard to bind a keypress that is not available on a physical key (I had to use xdotool to send a fake keypress event), but it seems to disallow these keys outright (and perhaps others that are in the legal range but not commonly bound).
While a way to bind keys other than sending those events to the tool would be nice, at a minimum it should at least be capable of mimicking events once it does record them.
Here is the command I used to generate a test keystroke, in case it is helpful:
xdotool windowactivate --sync "$(xdotool search --name "Hotkey"| head -1)" key F14
F14 is defined as 0xffcbover here, and seems to send correctly as best as I can determine. Sending it by number makes no difference, and sending other more common keys by number works as expected. I'm guessing whatever library you are using for input isn't very imaginative.
