This is a really exciting development! Everything I miss from the 2013 MacBook Pro - no final word on what ports are being added or if they are bringing back the SD slot, but MagSafe, a working keyboard, and an escape key are themselves welcome.
The touch bar ended up being completely useless except for muting/unmuting zoom calls and smashing the left hand side seventeen times in a row until it finally registers as an escape key - I guess Apple devs don’t use vi. I was thrilled to have Touch ID at first but ultimately it only gets used in the control panel because apparently Apple doesn’t let anything else use it. I largely stopped using u2f keys because it was too much of a pain to dig up a usb-a dongle and I didn’t want to spend $50 on a usb-c form key that still doesn’t work on iOS.
- awll 6y agoIf you are a vi user, you could consider using CTRL-[ instead of escape. I find this to be more comfortable and quicker to use anyways and you wouldn't need to use the touch bar anymore
- mozey 6y agoI like mapping jk (and kj) to escape. For lefties I imagine df (and fd) would be more convenient. Both sequences are unlikely to appear in any words. They're on the home keys, so least effort to move your hands. https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Avoid_the_escape_key https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Avoid_the_escape_key
