Disable F1 Key only? Or remove the Undo Function?

Hi. I just got this Macbook Pro a couple of months ago and I have been trying to get used to the touchbar, but it is not happening. I absolutely hate it.


For various reasons - I have to lock the touchbar to keep the F keys there at all times. You know, like a Normal keyboard.


As a consequence I am constantly hitting the F1 key by accident. I shouldn't say "hitting" - all it takes is for my finger to come within the general proximity of it, then it triggers the F1 key.


F1 Key is set to "UNDO" so whenever this happens it undo everything. I saw some posts about undoing all the F keys but I can't have that. Can I either undo the F1 key or change what the F1 key does?


I go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts and only the SHIFT + F key shortcuts are listed not the stand alone F key shortcuts

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.14
