At this point I'm starting to assume that people are acting in bad faith when they pretend that the toolbar somehow turns to emoji mode when you're working in a terminal or rebooting or whatever.
I do this because all of Apple's material has focused on it's context-sensitivity and configurability. Here's a screenshot of function keys: http://images.apple.com/v/macbook-pro/j/images/overview/touchbar_access_function_large.jpg http://images.apple.com/v/macbook-pro/j/images/overview/touc...
- jasonjei 10y agoNo, my point is Apple is pushing consumer's uses such as typing emoji above the developer's needs, such as pressing ESC. Yes, you certainly still can "press" ESC, but I suspect I won't be used to the touching a screen sensation when reaching for the ESC key without looking at my key plate. I'm very aware of the contextual TouchBar. Yes, I'm sure the Touch Bar will useful for the consumer demographic. However, there are many of us who are much more effective with the keyboard rather than using a touchscreen or a mouse.

- Lio 10y agoIt's nice to see some ideas being played with but I think there are two issues with that image. 1. The Esc key isn't butted against the edge of the touch bar. Because it's not always in the same place means it's hard to press without looking down. 2. The same is true for the run tests shortcuts. I'll miss the f keys less than Esc but things like test shortcuts, I find, are best committed to muscle memory.
