Show F1, F2, etc. keys on the Touch Bar

The option is available only on Apple MacBook Pro models with a Touch Bar. It is disabled by default, so you have to hold down the Fn key to see function keys. Enable it to always show function keys on the Touch Bar instead of controls specific to PhpStorm. For more information, see Touch bar support.

Use national layout for shortcuts

The option is available only when using a non-English Latin keyboard layout and when the Keymap Nationalizer plugin is installed. On macOS and Windows, it is enabled by default, and all characters are interpreted as determined by the layout. For Windows, this behavior is hard-coded, and you can't disable it. On Linux, it is disabled by default, and keys with special characters are interpreted as if you were using an English keyboard layout. For example, pressing the minus key - on a German keyboard will produce a forward slash /, so to execute Alt + / on a German keyboard, press ⌥-.

Use US non-alphanumeric keys for shortcuts

The option is available on Windows when using a Cyrillic layout. It is disabled by default. Enable it to map IDE actions to OEM keyboard characters as if it were an English keyboard layout.
