As far as I'm concerned, the Touch Bar is not useful and will never be useful. I need the physical tactile ESC and F-keys back.
There isn't even an option to make it emulate a standard keyboard row of ESC & F-Keys permanently (with the alternative functionality when you hit Fn, like on a Magic Keyboard).
This "feature" alone has sealed the fate of Apple computer hardware for me. I will not buy another Mac until it has a full developer-level set of features and a full keyboard, one that doesn't cost $700 and five days to repair when it keeps breaking.
I literally don't use my MacBook Pros anymore (one personal, one work) without an external keyboard except when simply impossible. I will literally put a magic keyboard on top of the internal keyboard when that is the only option I have.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoSomebody should build a row of physical ESC+F-Keys that you could stick to your touchbar, + software fix that would make the touchbar display the appropriate keys. Kind of like those analog controllers you can stick to a smartphone.
- dmitriid 9y agoYou can have static ESC+F keys. They brought that back in a recent-ish update. Look under keyboard preferences. You can set the default display for "control strip"
