If you're using a MBP at the moment - then you're already pressing the fn key to use the functions keys for anything other than the media-stuff they've been designed around for years. Your workflow is exactly the same - you're just using soft keys instead of physical ones.
- bretthoerner 10y agoThere is option on Macs (and basically ever other computer) to flip that so Fn is required for media functionality instead.
- SteveMoody73 10y agoOr change the preferences so the function keys work as expected and you have to use the fn key to access the media options. I probably use the function keys 100x more often than the media ones.
- mcintyre1994 10y agoYou can change that setting, and I imagine most developers who rely on function keys do, so no I'm not already doing that.
- ciaranm 10y agoWell then it's still exactly the same? You can either press fn or change your preferences. You opted for the latter. Do that again?
- mcintyre1994 10y agoSo the touchbar has a setting where it behaves precisely like the current MBP? Esc, row of 12 keys, which are either f1-f12 or media with a setting, and are toggled between with fn? That's strictly worse if I only ever use it like that because it's the same but with soft keys, but sure that's basically the same.
