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. From: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207240 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207240 If you want always function keys, you can do that too: >If you prefer the top row of keys to always behave as standard function keys without holding the Fn key: Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu. 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
