No touchbar integration? I can think of some very useful shortcuts around full screening

11 days ago Touch Bar did not exist in public. If you want to add it, here are the sources:

But it looks like it is not an easy task thanks to Qt.

I find Qt quite easy and pleasant to work with.

After a quick look, I would have not idea where to start to add macOS specific APIs to this code base. Then again, I have zero experience with C++/Qt.

I assumed this was made available as closed beta to popular software

No. Touch Bar was kept private until release day, only an oversight made it public ~ a day before the release.

How would an open source project participate in a closed beta?

Also, it is Qt and not QT
