  Can you not do that with the new macbook? I figured you'd be able to do this context-dependent, so that they'd be function keys for relevant programs.

    You definitely can, geophile is just being obtuse. >For some apps, you can make the function keys display permanently in Touch Bar: In System Preferences, choose Keyboard. Click Shortcuts. From the left sidebar, select Function Keys. Click the “+” symbol, then navigate to the app and select it.

Click Keyboard. Click the Keyboard tab if it's not already highlighted. Select "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys" From: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204436 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204436

      I actually looked through System Preferences. I did not see a new Touch Bar option, and it didn't occur to me that a non-keyboard device would be configured under Keyboard. My bad. While this does improve things, I would still rather have real keys. Tactile feedback is a thing.
