Change the condition in the if statement to:

 bool allowObjMovement = false;

 void Update()
 {
     if(input.getkey(keycode.F))
     allowObjMovement = true; 
 }
 

 Void OnTrigger2D(Colllider2D other)
 { 
        if player.collider...etc && allowObjMovement == true;
        { 
              do something. 
        } 
 }

Now for the UI Button try this or set allowObjMovement to true however you want.

@hexagonius it's not a method , when ever my player collides with something and press F i can move the thing the player colides with around .something like :

Void OnTrigger2D(Colllider2D other){ if player.collider...etc && input.getkeydown(keycode.F){ do something. } }

For this you have to create a public method, that you call when the press the F and when u press a UI button.

To call the method when clicking the button, simply go to the inspector and add the method from the On Click() list.

Personally, I think you'd be better off using the Input system. If you define an Input called "Push" and set that input to KeyPress F, you can also assign it to a gamepad button, or Mouse Button 3. The input system works better than specifically defining a key, and it allows the user to remap it in case they don't want to use "F". Not that the other answers are incorrect, or even less correct. :D

Just my two cents.
