Standard Function keys using External Keyboard on 2016 Macbook Pro (touch)

keyboardtouch-bar

I recently picked up a 2016 Macbook Pro (with Touch Bar). I use an external keyboard. There used to be a setting in the keyboard system preferences that "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys". That is no longer an option. Is there a way to get that back?

Best Answer

At least in Sierra 10.12.3, the Keyboard panel of System Preferences has a check box for that which says:

Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys on external keyboards

When this option is selected, press the Fn key to use the special features printed on each key
