I'm looking for remapping software that can work for Zorin 18 so I can get all of the shortcuts I use down to a single key.

Regarding such software, does it only work with keyboards noted as being a "macro," "programmable," or "mechanical," keyboard, or can the right software effectively turn something as simple as a second numbered or mini keyboard into a macro keypad?
 


The term is called "keybinding" in Linux and there are utilities to theoretically map any key to whatever character/macro/action you choose. It is advanced to master though, you should start with the options the desktop environment Zorin uses offers. It will have options for it, have a look for "keyboard shortcuts" in settings, e.g. the regular Gnome lets you define yours there and makes it easy.
