Replace "PC Manager" Fn key with custom action

How I replaced the "PC Manager" Fn key on my Huawei Matebook X Pro with a play/pause button.

Background

The Huawei Matebook X Pro, as well as other devices from various manufacturers have a Fn key with a proprietary function. On the Matebook, it's a button that does nothing but open the so-called PC Manager software, and is located on the F10 key. Since at least I really don't need this function and am missing a play/pause Fn key, I decided to try replacing the function.

NOTE

These are NOT product / license keys that are valid for Windows activation.
These keys only select the edition of Windows to install during setup, but they do not activate or license the installation.

TLP 1.4 Test: Battery Care for Non-ThinkPads

Introduction

TLP has supported charge control thresholds for ThinkPads since the beginning. With release 1.4, support will be extended to laptops from selected other vendors for which a corresponding driver already exists in the Linux kernel.

Since I don't own any of the newly supported laptops, I'm reaching out to the community of TLP users with a request to test the new functionality on their hardware.

When connecting the charger, charging starts if the charge level is below the start threshold
