> memorized keyboard shortcuts

What keyboard shortcuts? I touch type, but nearly all the keyboard shortcuts I know use the lower part of the keyboard (ctrl- or cmd- or alt- some letter or number). I know F5 to refresh, but never used it on my Mac since the media keys were set to be the default and were more useful to me anyway.

The only thing that occasionally causes me to do a double-take about the touch bar is the non-physical escape key. And even that has not honestly been much of an issue for me.

Probably a good thing, since F5 to refresh is a Windows thing and does nothing on the Mac.

Ctrl-F2 for the menu bar, use it all the time. Ctrl-F3 for the dock, use it all the time. F6 to continue, F7 to step into within Xcode.

I'd miss them I think.

Then it's a good thing that all the function keys pop right back up when you hit the FN key on the keyboard...

Thank you for this info. I have been fearful of this new change but need to try it out.

Not enough money (or an actual need) to upgrade at the moment, thankfully.
