In this case, we will be telling the system to view presses of the F5 and F6 keys (currently Focus and Siri) as commands to lower and raise the keyboard brightness instead.
This method involves creating a custom LaunchAgent, a small script which runs automatically on each login or reboot, and which tells the system to implement our custom keyboard shortcuts when pressing certain function keys. However, the good news is there is a way to bring them back. I use neither function, and immediately noticed they have replaced a pair of keys which I used to use frequently: the keyboard brightness keys. Others, like the dedicated Do Not Disturb/Focus key and the Siri key, are of less use to me. Some of the new offerings I find very useful, like the dedicated Spotlight key, which allows users to invoke Spotlight for program launches and file opening without moving the cursor up to the menu bar. Apple’s new laptops have a revamped keyboard layout with more dedicated function keys, but some previous options didn’t make the cut.
