Wait how the hell do you do that??
https://support.apple.com/kb/ph25168?locale=en_US It worked for me today for the first time (that I realized). I copied a link from twitter on an iPhone, then pasted on an iMac.
I'll plug another touch bar tool here. Know how your $3,000 MacBook Pro keyboard keeps breaking? Know what's not broken and close to your keyboard? The touch bar. So I built a keyboard into the touchbar: https://github.com/RubenSandwich/TouchBarKeyboard . Problem solved. But seriously, OP's tool has way more utility then mine.
This uses the trackpad haptic engine to (poorly) emulate a key click when pressing touchbar items.
I'm unsure how they overlooked putting a haptic engine in the touchbar itself but it feels way too late to attempt to salvage now. They need a new keyboard that people will fall in love with.
Late to the party, but I just randomly realized today that copy & paste syncs across iOS and my iMac. Was surprisingly convenient. Apparently it’s been around since Sierra, but my settings are now in sync enough to just work.

Ahhh I have handoff disabled (I cant stand getting phone calls on my laptop)

You also can’t disable this without disabling handoff entirely.
I used to love the mac keyboard. Of any non Apple laptop it was superior... until I tried out a ThinkPad just over a year ago. I honestly don’t think I could own anything other than a ThinkPad from now on for the keyboard alone.
you should try the old ThinkPad keyboards, like the X201. So nice. For the MacBook, if they had a version with a physical escape key, I'd be fine. Just make it a little shorter. It will be okay. I promise.

The touch bar doesn't give you the ability to touch it without click like a key. It also replaces all the f keys and the escape key. It is by far the worst thing made when working say on the bus. There is no world in which the touch bar is good in any way. There are zero benefits to it. On two years with this monstrosity I have regretted having it. And now I am seriously considering moving to windows with the new Lin…
Ok, I guess those of us who either aren't affected by it, or actually find it useful are just wrong?
This is what Touch Bar should have been from the beginning IMO. I've been on the fence to upgrade my 2012 MBP. I've been concerned about buying into the Touch Bar hardware when it seems like it is not coming to any other Macs. Why should I devote time to learning Touch Bar and trying to find ways to integrate it with my workflow when keyboard shortcuts are more than enough—and probably better? What happens when I sit…
