Evening guys! Quick question. My work just presents me with this Mac
that has a touch screen function keys, and I'm having issues with it.
How do you use a Mac like this? Please help!

Warm regards,

Dammie

VO functions can be done with the number row and the FN key. Also stuff like the volume and turning Voiceober on/off have shortcuts that doesn’t rely on the TouchBar. You should consult the VoiceOver documentation for details on using a TouchBar Mac as a VoiceOver user.
Or you can plug in a USB or bluetooth keyboard.

Thanks Steeve! I'll consult the VO documentation when time permits me.
But for now, an external key board comes in handy. I don't need to
read anything. Greatly appreciate. God bless.

Best,

Dammie

If you have the virtual extended keyboard, you can use

fn+1,2,3,4: f1,2,3,4

fn+q,w,e,r = f5,6,7,8

fn+a,s,d,f = f9,10,11,12

fn+z,x,c,v = f16,17,18,19
