How do I get f4 on my Mac touch bar?

Answered by Ricardo McCardle

To get the F4 key on your Mac Touch Bar, you can follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Fn (Function) key on your keyboard. This will temporarily display the function keys (F1 through F12) on the Touch Bar.

2. While holding the Fn key, look for the F4 key on the Touch Bar. It should be labeled as “F4” or with the corresponding function symbol.

3. Once you find the F4 key, you can release the Fn key and press the F4 key on the Touch Bar to activate its function.

If you prefer to have the function keys appear automatically when you use specific apps, you can customize this behavior in the System Preferences settings. Here’s how:

1. Click on the Apple menu () in the top-left corner of your screen and select “System Preferences.”

2. In the System Preferences window, click on “Keyboard.”

3. In the Keyboard preferences, go to the “Keyboard” tab.

4. Check the box that says “Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys.” This will make the function keys appear by default on the Touch Bar.

5. If you want to customize the behavior for specific apps, go to the “Shortcuts” tab in the Keyboard preferences.

6. On the left side, select “Function Keys.”

7. Click on the “+” button below the list of apps and add the desired app.

8. Once you’ve added the app, you can choose whether to have the function keys appear by default or have them perform specific actions for that particular app.

By following these steps, you should be able to easily access the F4 key on your Mac Touch Bar. Remember that the specific layout and customization options may vary depending on your macOS version, so make sure to adjust accordingly.
