Ctrl+cmd+q = lock screen. Display will dim/sleep shortly after that. (Found this out myself not too long ago, I think because of HN).
Incidentally, I just switched the touch bar to the standard function key display with fn switching to the buttons just like the keyboards of old. I found I almost never look at the touch bar and there's absolutely nothing I found that it added that I couldn't already do with the old setup. I hate that the escape key is no longer where it used to be (fully left-aligned). I also hate on the new keyboards that the left and right arrow keys are so big. I use the space on the smaller keys of my old keyboard as a tactile indicator of where my hands are (perhaps it's finally time for vim?).
- r00fus 9y agoOr just install bettertouchtool and use any gesture to lock screen - my fave is the five-finger click (I use CTRL-Shift-Eject if in clamshell mode).

- yeahboats 9y agoI believe this is a High Sierra addition.
- rexf 9y agoEven though the author doesn't like Hot Corners, I use Hot Corners willingly to enable screen saver & lock. It's built in to the OS and works fine as long as you don't habitually move your cursor to the corner(s).
- ninkendo 9y agoIt's also a stock button you can add to the touchbar...
