The earlier discussion had to do with the behavior of the NumberRow keys when
holding down the Fn key, not the behavior of the TouchBar.

Thanks to all of you for the correction. It is clear now how it behaves.

Yes, Just verified on my MBP 2108 with the touchbar. Holding Fn key down and
sliding across the touchbar reads out the various f# positions.

Yes, because that is the TouchBar, not the NumberRow keys.

Hi Donna,
TouchBar settings have no effect on the behavior of NumberRow keys, when
pressing the Fn key, with or without the VO modifier.
Fn key by itself does nothing. Fn key plus VO modifier, will allow the
NumberRow keys to perform VO functions usually performed when using the VO
modifier in
Thanks for the correction, Brad. Because of how I have my unction keys set up,
holding down FN and VO and pressing the number keys is the same for me pretty
much as having function keys which is why I wrote what I did. But your right,
if someone has the function keys set to perform other
Sorry, my bad. It's FN-Vo and the number keys.

Correct?
Thank you again.

Actually, holding down the Fn key in combination with the VO modifier, and then
pressing a NumberRow key, will perform VoiceOver functions that correspond with
the respective F-key for that vO function. Holding down the Fn key alone, and
then pressing a NumberRow key does not do anything.
Hi Mohamed,
Yes, that is correct. If you are in a place where function keys will work, then
FN plus a number key will serve as a function key E.g. FN-2 will act like F2.

Hi,
Sometimes, when I press fn key + any number in the number row, I I feel it is
similar to pressing function key of the same number. e.g. VO+fn+8 is equivalent
to VO+F8 on non Touch Bar models. And sometimes it doesn’t work. Maybe I do a
wrong thing. I don’t remember exactly. I just thought
