Dave2D does say the function row works better than the Mac's, for the ESC key anyway. https://youtu.be/6fPj6mj-M_k?t=232 https://youtu.be/6fPj6mj-M_k?t=232 Personally, I probably wouldn't mind it. I rarely use F keys these days, other than the occasional volume/refresh/brightness stuff. I'm not a vim user so I don't use ESC that much. I use DEL a lot though, so that might be annoying.

Which is why Apple replaced that visual-display-only escape key with an actual key and a slightly smaller touch bar pretty quickly, yeah. Because having zero feedback on key presses is terrible. This one will be terrible too.

Vim users don't use the Esc key either. We have remapped it to something less inconvenient. If you haven't done this yet, I really recommend remapping Caps Lock to a Ctrl/Esc combination, it's in a really convenient position, unlike the two keys you'll use it as.

  I still use <ESC>. Call me weird. I wouldn’t be so comfortable speaking for an entire legacy user base so casually.

    The reason ESC was chosen is it was roughly where TAB is today on the developers old keyboard. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esc_key#/media/File%3AKB_Terminal_ADM3A.svg https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esc_key#/media/File%3AKB_Ter...
