Can people hit their function keys without looking at the keyboard? Sure, hitting F5 to go to your terminal is less keystrokes than e.g. Cmd+tab+tab, but I can't hit anything in the function row without glancing down at my keyboard. And I put a lot of value in looking at my keyboard as little as possible

Or am I missing something obvious?

That's why the function keys are seperated into groups of 3, and you can feel which it is by feeling the gaps between them.
(Edit: I mean no groupings at all, not about the size of groupings.)
So, let's say F2 does something important in an open app (e.g. "Rename file" in Explorer) - does that mean it would not work anymore? Or am I missing something obvious?

Nope, and I often work in dark conditions so it’s not at all easy to identify the right F-key at a glance.

Another way of doing this is assign Hyper key to Caps Lock with Karabiner and then use that to set up hyper+X shortcuts to different or macros using Hammerspoon. So e.g. I have hyper+a for Alacritty, hyper+b for Browser etc.
