This could be the one a lot of people have been waiting for if the new switches/design pans out.
PS - Although I might be an unusual demographic as I touch type and wouldn't use the touchbar regardless (since I look at the screen, not the backs of my hands while I interact with a Mac).
I'm happy we VIM users have been loud enough to get the most important key back. :-)
I know there's Ctrl-[ but it's 20 years of muscle memory to retrain, and I don't want to do that.
After listening to the same track for a few hours it really stuck.
Amazing how this can be the first comment. What would be next? USB ports? Even jack ports on the iPhone?! /s
yeah, considering the massive 16" size, there's definitely room for another row of keys. I could see if a diminuitive air came out with touchbar, you want both weight and space savings so nuke it. but with 16" and six speakers just add the damn keys!
This gave me a chuckle since nearly every person I know (90% at least) is a touch typer.
You're joking. You realize this forum is filled with programmers and other digital creative professionals, right?
Programmers and creative professionals don't unilaterally love or need the ESC key like you're suggesting.
And if you want extended remapping I'd recommend https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/ especially if you're missing the function keys, you can remap that to be fn + number row. So you will have easy access to those as well.
