I mean, you’re basically using the touchbar as a secondary screen.
Which is, to be honest, a much better use of the touchbar than anything else I’ve seen.
But it still doesn’t change the fact that it’s not a great input mechanism. Your usage, however, makes me wonder if Apple would have been better off promoting it as a secondary monitoring screen, which has Touch capabilities, as opposed to primarily an input mechanism.
Of course, that brings up the question why it couldn’t be a bar on the actual screen your looking at, or if you don’t want it to be omnipresent something that comes up with a KB shortcut, but I guess there is some value in a monitoring screen that is visible at the nod of the head.
I especially like the idea of putting your current active task. It can be a nice reminder on doing a fairly passive action, such as tilting your head, as opposed to a more active keyboard press.
