Regarding kyboard shortcuts Mac OS HIG Guidelines says:
> Avoid using the Touch Bar for tasks associated with well-known keyboard shortcuts. In general, the Touch Bar shouldn’t include controls for tasks such as find, select all, deselect, copy, cut, paste, undo, redo, new, save, close, print, and quit. It also shouldn’t include controls that replicate key-based navigation, such as page up and page down.

- grzm 10y agoThanks for the reference to the HIG. To be clear, I was using Undo/⌘-Z as an example of how I think about keyboard shortcuts as command rather than the specific keystrokes. I wasn't suggesting that Undo should have a place on the Touch Bar. Besides providing the reference, was there something you intended to convey with the quote?
- mercer 10y agoActually, I could see undo on the Touch Bar being useful. I'd use cmd-Z most of the time, of course, but on more than one occasion I wished I could see what the undo command would actually do (Finder operations, among others). A 'button' on the task bar that explicitly states what will be undone could be great.
- cel1ne 10y ago> Besides providing the reference, was there something you intended to convey with the quote? Only that Touchbar seems intended to be very dynamic and have constantly changing mappings. So there will not be much consistency across apps, especially since common shortcuts shouldn't be put there. This is very different from a keyboard.
- grzm 10y agoGotcha. I agree that there will not be much consistency across apps, and I think that's the beauty of it. And yeah, what's available on the Touch Bar can potentially be very context dependent.
