How do I remove functions from F-keys on Magic Keyboard?

Apple decided to put a "do not disturb" key as F6 on the Apple keyboard where it can easily be accidentally pressed.

I'm sick of missing calls because of this. How do I remove these functions from the F-keys on an Apple keyboard?

Is there a way to disable to Dictation function on F5 key on new Touch ID keyboard I just switched from an older white wireless Apple keyboard to a new black Touch ID one. The old one has no Apple function icon above the "F5" on the key and thus was available to use in apps like Adobe Creative Cloud. I could use F5 in other applications while still using F8 for pause and play, and F10-11-12 for volume control. The new keyboard has a microphone icon for dictation and cannot be used in other applications as a function key. I know I can disable ALL of the F keys in System Preferences, but I like using some of them as previously stated, for volume, etc. Is there any way to customize the F5 key so it behaves like the same key on the previous keyboards? Thanks!
