> I don't really understand this conclusion. The point of these programmable keyboards is you can make them as work-free as you need. If you hit your function keys all the time, you can make the number row produce a function key just by holding it for a little longer or do like what OP did and make number chords match a function key. Press 1+2 to get F1, 2+3 to get F2, etc.
All those solutions are pretty sub-optimal if you actually use your F-keys regularly. Making a number stand in for an F-key after being held for a moment actually seems like it would be the most annoying workaround of all.
