Hello:

Using Finale 26.3 on Catalina. Recently got a new wireless keyboard where the = key isn't where is usually is on the keypad. The F16 function key is close by. Is it possible to assign = to that key in Finale so I can use it for ties??

If you're always going to use it for that, just remap the key in the MacOS.

You can reassign functions using Metatools

Get the Mac cordless, extended keyboard. It's all there. (On mine, at least!)

What MikeR says. The Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad is worth every penny.

And Keyboard Maestro can be used to emulate the keys of the missing keypad.
