I've been expecting them to move the Touch Bar up and add a row of physical function keys. I'd be perfectly fine with that.
There are some bases of users that actually use the Touch Bar. Most of the devs on here are not among them. From what I've heard it's mostly graphics and 3d people.
The biggest issue I have with the Touch Bar is how un-customizable it is. Make it easier to do DIY customizations and I might find some interesting uses for it.
- joshstrange 5y agoBetterTouchTool can help a little with the Touch Bar but overall I hope they kill it off. They haven't iterated on it at all since release and it's more in my way than useful. On top of that my MBP is in clamshell mode 99.9% of the time so it's completely worthless for me. I'd even be happy with just the option to not have the Touch Bar on the new 16".
- mthoms 5y agoI'll second the recommendation for BTT. The UI is a disaster but it's still at the top of my list for installing on new machines. Side note: BTT is not just about the touch bar and trackpad gesture customization, it's also fantastic for mapping hotkeys and window snapping.
- bluenose69 5y agoAs for customizing, I use macvim quite a lot, and it's easy to add things to the colorbar, e.g. with " Touchbar amenu TouchBar.make :!make<CR> amenu TouchBar.@q @q in your ~/.vimrc file.
