Or replace them with physical keys with tiny LCDs screen on them to indicate their meaning in the current context.

Yeah but still, function keys for me are so important I don't like switching them for any reason. Even the Fn+ functions for like volume etc I don't really like, I would much rather have additional buttons for that.

In that sense a touch bar in addition to function keys would be very nice, because it's a much smoother way to adjust volume.

  • Oh, I agree, I want my function keys! But this would allow software to communicate what the function keys actually do in this context. When you hold a modifier key, the labels could change.
