I'm the NOT the original parent, but I am a developer, and use a 2018 MacBook Pro (15-inch). I'm a heavy vi user (vim actually.) I did not particularly care for advice to remap the escape key in vi to caps lock. So I just use the virtual escape key on the touch bar. It was odd initially not have haptic feedback on the escape key, but I got used to it and my typing speed in vi is almost as fast as it is on a normal keyboard (But definitely not as fast as it would be on a real keyboard). I have no real use for the touchbar. Occasionally, I use it to switch between browser tabs, and adjust video volume and scrub backwards and forwards in Premier Pro. But I don't really need it. I don't hate with a passion either. It's just there.
Edit fixed a typo: I am NOT the original parent.
- AlEinstein 7y agoThanks. As a vim user I’ve been assuming the new macbook pros are a non-starter.
- tsar9x 7y agoVIM is all about efficiency and comfort, I'm wondering why any vim user would use ESC key in default position, to exit insert mode you can write: - ESC - Ctrl-c - Ctrl-[ - Configure Caps as Ctrl when held, ESC when tapped - Use key chord, for example 'jk'
