p100sch14464yThe one use case for the touch bar that would be actually useful. Displaying Vim shortcuts. But no, Apple gives you useless autocomplete suggestions and other shit instead.
Give a fuck about your feature and add some function to free software yourself and it would be praised as the Vim beginner's machine. -
Been there. Exactly there, actually.
This is why I remapped caps lock to escape on my macs. -
Root797734yI traded my esc-less Mac work lappy for a newer one with a physical escape key.
Instant improvement in quality of life. -
myss44504yThis is exact reason why I was sceptical towards those touchbars instead of f keys ever since apple decided to introduce them..

@Root I traded my Macbook for a Dell XPS... then threw that out of a window and now use a desktop PC.
Now I just write code in one place, behind my desk at home, with a comfortable monitor/keyboard/mouse/chair setup. I plan to continue this even post-pandemic -- When I visit the office, I'll just bring a notebook and a pencil so I can sketch some pictures of large veiny dicks during meetings.
People are too obsessed with mobility anyway. -
That takes the whole VI emprisionment meme to the next level.
But ask yourself: "Why am i using a castrated product when there are so many well-working and cheaper non-castrated versions on the market?" -
why are you guys using those garbage machines? Just hit a freak pc and put some nice distro on it.

hjk10156964y@p100sch no it's not; no touchbar = actual escape key.
Most vimmers map caps-lock to esc. It's a neat trick. -
@hjk101 Also, ctrl-[ literally sends the esc character to vi/vim, while ctrl-c is also a default "leave insert/replace mode" hotkey.

hjk10156964y@bittersweet good to know! I might get a mac soon but I use a lot of shortcuts/hotkeys. It's going to be hell
