Introduction: Tackling the Touch Bar

Today, I’m embarking on a mission to see if I can transform my MacBook Pro’s touch bar into a genuinely useful tool with just one simple trick. The touch bar has been a point of confusion and frustration for many MacBook Pro users, including myself. It often feels limited in functionality, displaying a bunch of buttons that change depending on the app, but rarely the ones I need. It can seem like a gimmick rather than a useful feature. But what if there was a way to make it truly helpful?

The Problem: A Gimmick or a Tool?

One of the biggest issues with the touch bar is its limited and often irrelevant options. It’s frustrating to see buttons that I rarely use, like adjusting the brightness or volume, taking up valuable space. This makes the touch bar feel like wasted space. However, I recently discovered a trick that could change everything. By customizing the touch bar to display shortcuts and tools specific to my workflow, I could potentially turn it into a super useful tool.

The Solution: Customizing the Touch Bar

Customizing the touch bar is incredibly simple and intuitive. All you need to do is go to System Preferences, click on Keyboard, and then click on Customize Touch Bar. From there, you can drag and drop different tools and shortcuts into the touch bar or rearrange them to fit your workflow. For example, as a graphic designer, you could set up shortcuts for commonly used tools like the eyedropper or paintbrush. As a writer, you could set up shortcuts for formatting options or research tools. The possibilities are endless, and it only takes a few minutes to set up.

In Action: A Boost in Productivity

I’ve set up my touch bar to show shortcuts for my most commonly used tools, like the screenshot tool and calculator. It’s super easy to use, and having these tools at my fingertips has made a huge difference in my productivity. I’m no longer constantly clicking through menus or searching for the right tool—everything I need is right there when I need it. This simple customization has changed the way I work, making the touch bar a valuable part of my MacBook Pro experience.

Conclusion: Give It a Try

If you’re someone who’s been struggling to find a use for the touch bar, I highly recommend giving this trick a try.
