Hi Yuma, I agree with you. I’ve learned to live with the touch bar, but after four years, I still am not a fan. I’m about to buy one of the new Macs, and I’ve decided to get a MacBook Air precisely because I want function keys and not a touch bar. Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPad > On Apr 26,

Hi, thanks for your suggestions, however I don't find taking away a whole row of function keys something that I can accept. These are called function keys for a reason, they have a function to which you can map something in order for your workflow to be more efficient. I'm not a casual mac

Sorry to hear you are having such a difficult time adjusting to the TouchBar on your MacBook Pro. I have a 2019 MacBook Pro 13, and while I don’t find the TouchBar useful, I don’t have a problem with it because I rarely need to use it. Perhaps you are not aware that there are other ways to
