No you don't have to. You can simply move your eyes. Also humans have this ability called "peripheral vision". Not to mention using the touchbar is optional. If you want to memorise all the key combinations, you're fine.
I think we should stop guessing about a new UI method before we actually try it.

- herrkanin 10y agoThe function keys are still there, you can invoke them by holding down the fn button just as before.
- kuschku 10y agoThere’s an F1 key? an F2 key? etc?

Oh wait, nope, there’s not.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoBut can you feel (without looking) whether you hit just F3, or F3 and F4?
- pshc 10y agoPersonally, my F key usage has been so infrequent (besides F5, once upon a time) that I can't reliably touch type them. I suspect most people are the same way, especially as keyboards have miniaturized and removed the 4-clustering.
- mdrzn 10y agoYou don't even need Alt+F4 anymore since it's all CTRL+W (or CTRL+Q). or CTRL+R instead of F5. Same on the Mac.
