I am using a 2020 MacbookPro. I use the F keys on the touchbar for some games and find that they are difficult to press accurately.
I would like to create a keyboard that I can switch to that has the F keys on the touchbar remapped to some of the physical keys on the keyboard. I have used software to edit the layout of the keyboard but I was not able to remap the F keys.
Any solutions would be appreciated.

You can use a macro app like Keyboard Maestro to setup key combinations to equal the F keys; for example Control+1 = F1, etc. I use it and have many of the F keys set for different actions.
There are other macro apps in the App Store.
Apple menu -> System preferences -> keyboard -> Keyboard shortcuts.
For additional capabilities, you may want to ask how to preprogram AppleScripts in the Mac OS X Technologies forum.
Thanks for the reply but the solution is not in the keyboard shortcuts. I will ask the same question in the technologies forum.
Take a look at the Ukelele application. Its purpose is to create mac keyboard layouts. You should be able to pick an existing layout and make a modified version.
