Touchbar: Never use it. Reprogrammed my keys to have Esc mapped on Caps (if it‘s hit alone) and Ctrl (it if is hit in combination with other keys).

- pixard 7y agoMind sharing what you used to get this Esc behavior? (single vs combo hit)
- rectang 7y agoI'd like to know as well. I've got [capslock] mapped to [control] via system prefs already, and I'm not willing to give that up. As a Vim user, that puts me in a quandary for how to deal with the [escape] key should I ever move to a touchbar MBP, and is one of the reasons I'm still typing this on a 2012 MBPr. I live inside Vim all day every day.

- pjmlp 7y agoGiven that I am not a vi user, ESC being there doesn't matter to me. There are the F keys when debugging, but I tend to jump between them and mouse anyway. Since I only use Mac devices occasionally at work, I guess all in all it doesn't make that bad impression on me, versus fighting single keys for input.
- dkersten 7y agoAs a vim user, I always use Ctrl-[ anyway instead of escape. So I map my capslock to control. (Although nowadays I mainly use a kinesis advantage keyboard so non of that matters much anymore. Hell, many of vi's features like hjkl movement don't matter anymore either as all the modifier keys are all easily reachable now)
