The fn keys you can almost circumvent, but the escape key? Common!

the esc key is still there. i'm still using the m1 macbook pro with the touchbar.

The original version removed the ESC key as well. By the time they added it back, the damage was done.

The worst bit was that the touch-sensitive area didn't extend as far left as the physical keyboard - so not only did the ESC key become virtual with no tactile feedback, it also shifted position.

That was when I started remapping caps lock to esc and have never gone back.
