any way to toggle Mac's function keys on and off with a keyboard shortcut?

Does anyone know of a Monterey-compatible plugin or program that allows you to toggle Mac's function keys on and off with a keyboard shortcut? Function Flip was a great extension that worked perfectly. But it hasn't been updated since 2017 and no longer works, at least not in Monterey or Big Sur. I'm currently using Keyboard Maestro as a workaround. But Maestro isn't as good as Function Flip, since FF could toggle function keys with a simple KB shortcut without going into any menus. Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions.

Touchbar or no touchbar(?) you do not say what exact mac is this...

Isn't that what the fn key is used for...

make changes to your preferences to suit you better
