Hello. Does there exist a Bluetooth keyboard with function keys separated in groups of four, a numeric keypad and a context menu key? In other words, with the functionality and appearance of a good old standard Windows keyboard?

I assume you are talking about wireless keyboards, not
necessarily bluetooth ones, since I believe there are very few
choices for the actual bluetooth PC keyboards. If htis is the
case, I can recommend my keyboard, it almost fits your
requirements: Microsoft Wireless Comfort Desktop 5050. Function
keys are not separated into groups of four, but what I've done is
I put sticky dots on the function keys to make them into groups of
four. I put bigger dots on F2 and F3, and I put smaller ones on F1
and F4, so that I can feel the whole group of 4 as a single block
of keys.

Logitech K270 is a great wireless keyboard. It is a
standard keyboard except it does not have a windows key on the right side. About
$20 on Amazon.

Something to consider as well, find out the actual
measurements before purchasing.
My wireless Logitech keyboard, not bluetooth,
measures about 18 inches left to right and almost 8 inches front to
back.
If it is an inch or two smaller, it may not have
the key separation you want.
This is an older one, but the F-keys are separated
into groups of four, it is exactly like a regular desktop keyboard.
In fact, I think I will look into a bluetooth
transmitter that I could plug into an old desktop computer to turn one of those
into a bluetooth keyboard.

Check out the Logitech K780.
someone else who I thin; is on this list, likes that one quite a bit, but I do not know about the keys separation.

The key separation is excellent.

I have the logitech K780. I do not like it for the
key layout. It has round keys instead of the normal square ones. The function
keys do not have the typical space after each group of 4. The arrow keys are
small and below the shift key. There is not the typical 6 pack
keys. It is well made, very heavy and made with a groove at the top to put a
tablet or phone. It does work with three devices, computer, phone and
tablet. I would like to sell it.

Wow, I was thinking of getting this keyboard. Those things do not get
mentioned in any of the product descriptions on Amazon and such. You only
discover them when you unbox and by then, you are let down as it was not quite
what you had in mind after having it built up in your mind. Round keys,
who would have thought?

Well, I have the Logitech K480 which has the same keys.
Yes, the corners are rounded, but the portion your finger is on is almost exactly the same size as a standard USB keyboard; like the one I am typing on now.
In fact, if they are any smaller, I cannot tell.
Personally, without trying it, no one can know if it works for them.

Amazon has a 30 day return policy which I have taken advantage of at times. It’s interesting because I like the round keys on the K780. I guess it just boils down to preference. My finger tips are round so they fit nicely on the keys.
