You can go to the Keyboard section of System Preferences, and there's a drop down the lets you change back to F-keys ("Touch Bar Shows:")
- suprfnk 8y agoBut in that case it's nothing more than a strictly worse set of F-keys, as you lose the tactility.
- colinjoy 8y agoExactly. For example it is next to impossible to use them for quick debugger navigation, as you can no longer rest your fingers on the keys, much like you would with WASD clusters in a game. I also use F-keys with modifiers for all sorts of shortcuts. I know that using layers and sticking to the home row can be more efficient, but being forced to use third party tools to restore basic functionality is not my understanding of “it just works”™ - it did work just fine before they broke it.
