Seriously? To all the people that say they don't use the f keys: What about adjusting volume, screen brightness, or going to the next or previous song?

This is something i do dozens of times a day -without looking-. Having to look down, find, then aim my finger at a long glass screen 50-100 times a day is a annoying if just for these features.



actually I use the lower volume and raise volume button, but the touchbar features a slider, so I guess thats not an issue. (also I use itunes, which pops up when a new song is there where I can skip the song)


Not on a mac, but I use f keys all the time. F2 to rename files especially.


On a mac that's just the enter key.
