Using Magic Keyboard with Touch ID on MacBook Pro. There appears to be no way to assign functions to the F13 - F19 keys. It appears someone posted on this in 2021, but there still is no answer. Seems like a waste of keyboard real estate.

Make changes to Preferences...

Use the function keys on MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
Those links don’t address how to program the F13 through F19 keys on the Magic Keyboard, or even if that can be done.
System Preferences - Keyboard settings does provide some limited ability to assign functions to F13 through F19. However, they are limited.
In Shortcuts
you can click on an action (such as Quick Note), it will highlight, and then click on the key assigned to that action. That will highlight the key and you can press any function key to assign it to that action (such as F19).
The limit is that you only have the actions listed in this box. So, not a complete waste, but it would be nice to add more actions
Magic Keyboard F13 - F19
