For VIM: I am using CAPS Lock now as ESC key, because there is no physical ESC Key with the touch bar anymore.
Generally: I configured my touch bar to match the old keyboard function keys layout & they never change, no matter if I switch the program. I just don't want to change my behaviour + can't deal with the fact that I can't quickly change volume/brightness + hit play/pause/forward/backwards keys.

- mranon99 9y agoThis annoys me so much, at least provide the option to make certain buttons globally accessible regardless of the applications context.
- w4tson 9y agoThere is a way to do this. It took me a bit of googling but it is possible. I needed the function keys or IntelliJ would be rendered useless
- nicolasd 9y agoIsn't a dealbreaker if you use it like I do and set a global touch bar configuration, which doesn't change. Only useful feature of the touchbar is Touch ID (which works very well). However, regarding your question about productivity: no it doesn't increase nor decrease with the touchbar (especially if you can work with caps lock being the ESC key in vim).
- jjallen 9y agoHmm, yeah, I use volume and brightness constantly, so this is not great for me. Might try and get a refurbished with old ports, without the touch bar
- rajathagasthya 9y agoYou can set the touch bar to show "Expanded control strip" in Settings -> Keyboard -> Touch Bar Shows so you get the same layout as the physical keys.
