Hi, If you use an apple phone or an iPad I don’t think you will find it difficult - I switched to a MacBook with the Touch Bar and got the hang of it really quickly.
At the write hand end you get a kind of stable set of buttons which link to the control panel so things like volume etc - just tap and swipe as you would on the IPAD and they open etc At the left hand end the buttons change depending n the function and application you are in - touch anything and it announces what it is and then you can double tap to active or swipe up and down to get other options etc - I am sorry I am sure Tim or someone would explain this better not being a trainer myself never sure if I use the write phrases. To get the function keys you simply use the FN key first and then the function keys appear on the Touch Bar and you can tap them etc. My honest advice though is just explore and you will quickly be using it effectively because you can run your finger along to find out what is their without activating anything it is easy to explore etc. I find it really helpful for doing formatting etc in pages because you get the most useful functions on the Touch Bar so you can get to them quickly etc. Hope this helps > On 16 Jun 2019, at 10:04, 'Andrew Lamanche' via MacVisionaries > <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > The new macs, I understand, no longer have a row of function keys at the top. > Is there an Apple resource that would teach how to use the touch bar to a > newbee new mac user? :) > > Andrew > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
