We want 12 physical function keys as well ...
- t-writescode 7y agoNot all of us, I just wanted an escape key. I’m happy now.
- Spivak 7y agoSeriously, keeping esc but dropping the function keys for something you can dynamically change is super cool. Those keys were always mapped to app specific functions anyway so now apps have a lot more freedom to do clever things like sliders, color pallets, switching out buttons on context. This was all true before but now it’s not the annoying thing that gets in the way when using Vim.
- tromp 7y agoWe wanted an escape from the touchbar...
- chongli 7y agoI never used those function keys. I much prefer the touchbar. I use it way more than I ever used function keys. Not just for volume and screen brightness sliders but also for styles in Pages. The latter usage is incredibly handy compared to traditional function keys because you aren’t forced to remember which key maps to which style, especially given that different documents will have different custom styles. I do appreciate the return of the escape key though.
