macos: remove the ability to bind fn/globe

Browse Source 
This was recently introduced a few days ago. Unfortunately, this doesn't
work as expected. The "function" modifier is not actually the fn key
but used by macOS to represent a variety of "functional" key presses.
This breaks other bindings such as #2411.

I can't find a source on the internet that reliably tells me how we
can detect fn key presses, but I do find a number of sources that tell
us we can't.
