Keymap without Fn keys
Answered
Folks,
Does anyone have OS X keymap without Fn keys? Or maybe Jetbrain is going to update their default OS X keymap to get rid of Fn keys. It really makes sense to get rid of Fn keys due to their absence in new MacBook laptops.
Thanks!

Hello Keith,
I corrected link. Please try it.
Thanks for updating but I dont see how this ticket matches the request. The OP didn't want Fn keys at all. The link is for PART of what an IDE does, editing, but I dont see debug commands there. Would they have Fn keys still?

It's even less relevant now since all the IDEs provide integration with the macOS touch bar where the debug actions will be available as icons.
Well that's like your opinion, maaaaan. :) Some of us hate reaching for Fn keys and that touch bar just made it worse with zero tactile feedback. Jump jump jump next instruction? Great debugging.
You can customize the default keymap as you like, it could be hard to find the combinations that are not already taken, so you may need to use the shortcuts with 2 keystrokes.
This is now built-in, under Appearance & Behavior | Keymap change the dropdown to macOS System Shortcuts.
This will replace most shortcuts that contain Fn keys.
