I press ESC all the time, but I never pressed F1-F12 since 2001.

  Seriously? To all the people that say they don't use the f keys: What about adjusting volume, screen brightness, or going to the next or previous song? This is something i do dozens of times a day -without looking-. Having to look down, find, then aim my finger at a long glass screen 50-100 times a day is a annoying if just for these features.

    actually I use the lower volume and raise volume button, but the touchbar features a slider, so I guess thats not an issue. (also I use itunes, which pops up when a new song is there where I can skip the song)

    Not on a mac, but I use f keys all the time. F2 to rename files especially.

      On a mac that's just the enter key.

  I do however touch the volume, brightness and media controls all the time. The touchbar really makes these hard to quick press without looking (or tapping twice in some cases).

    thanks for that info

  On Windows and Linux, there are some useful shortcuts: F2 to edit the cell you're currently highlighting in a spreadsheet, F6 to focus the browser address bar.

    The browser address bar can also be focused with Cmd/Ctrl-L
