If you program regularly, I think you're going to know which keys are "step over/into/out." I've been using the Visual C++ debugging F-keys for almost 30 years, and rely on physical keys for finding them without looking down at my keyboard.
The touchbar was further gimped by Apple's baffling omission of at least one key that they petulantly refuse to put on their laptops: Delete. I mean real Delete, not Apple's Backspace key that they've mislabeled "delete." It's bad enough that they didn't have this key to begin with. It's even worse that when the Eject key became obsolete, they didn't make that Delete.
But worst of all was having a totally software-controlled touchbar but inexplicably leaving "Delete" out of the buttons you could add to it. At this point, it's just another example of Apple's infantile refusal to admit that they're wrong.
- tpmoney 4y agoI program regularly, what I don’t do is use all the various tools in my IDE regularly, including the debugger. The context aware keys are helpful there. Especially if you use multiple IDEs in different contexts. As for delete, your mileage may vary but I find fn-backspace to not be particularly annoying when I need it, especially since I’m already using fn-arrow keys for page up, page down, home and end. But I also don’t use two many applications that dedicate specific functionality to the delete key (IDEs being the exception, but since all that functionality is gated behind modifiers anyway, adding fn is effectively free.
