How to install Fn button switch on macbook?

Good day to all. I am a new macOS user. I recently bought a MacBook Pro 20 years old with a touchbar.
I have a frequent need to switch between the touchbar and function buttons.
On a working HP laptop, it is possible to turn on Fn-lock, that is, it works like a CAPS-LOCK switch.
The closest functionality is given by the FNable program, which switches Fn when held for 3 seconds.
But it works crookedly on BigSur and crashes periodically.
Ideally, I want to switch between modes with a single press of the Fn button

and can nafig pull old habits and start using what the system provides?
when you press fn, the entire touchbar turns into function keys. what else does?

Try the bettertouchtool and karabiner applications, in previous macbooks (before replacing the fn with a touch) this could be done with their help.
