I never look at my keyboard when I type, either.
I do, however, always look at my keyboard when I adjust the screen brightness or volume, or control iTunes (pause, next, previous).
The one exception to this is ESC, and I use it gratuitously.

I haven't used it yet (I'm not a VIM user, so I mostly just use it to cancel dialogs), but I've ordered the new MBP and it's the first thing I'll do. Should take care of that issue and even improve ergonomics. I should have remapped caps-lock ages ago, I never use it, but haven't had the incentive until now.

Honestly, I'll get over it; I'll set up other key chords to take the place of the various F keys I use today. It still bothers me that I'm the one who has to make these adjustments to support something that I have no need for. It's a short term productivity hit, combined with a long tail of annoyance as my hands use their muscle memory and will incur some random state change on my computer.
- raverbashing 10y agoSo, I guess you lose iTunes control keys while another app has control of the Touch Bar? Or maybe some controls can be global? This is a big issue in media apps
- pilif 10y agoThe controls are global. You can try it out with the Touch Bar simulator in the current XCode.
