In practice, it works fine as an Esc key. The touch area is generous enough that you don’t have to look. You’ll miss the key click though.
Most common question about Touch Bar: does the blank spot to the left of Esc work as a touch target. Answer: half of it does.pic.twitter.com/uu3qU1G8tt

So now the question: remap CapsLock to Esc or to Hyper?
-
What’s Hyper?
-
it is shift option command ctrl at once.
@ttscoff designed this solution for shortcuts :) -
Oh, clever.
-
we should rename the caps lock key to the “trump” key.
-
it's rather just disable it and remap it to something more useful :)
-
i’m a control key in the capslock key area person, just like NeXT keyboards had it. :)

That is... unexpected...
-
Unexpected that the touch area does not extend all the way? Or unexpected that it extends as much as it does?
-
Extend it all the way and let us use as a customizable shortcut for expose, app launcher, notifications, etc.
-
The area to the left of the escape key? I think that would be a terrible idea.
-
Probably. I think ultimately it should be inert.

Thank you for posting this for the first time.

Deja vu all over again.

I feel like I’ve seen this tweet before.

Deja vu is a common thing.

so now how do you feel about the entire lower clamshell half turning into touch input + display? I still think that's the end goal.
-
Could be the goal, but touch keyboard would have be 10x (or more) better than iPad’s.

-
how is it to type on?
-
In a word: fine.
