Dec 8, 2019 at 18:12 comment added At0micMutex @DavidHammen this is exactly why I haven't bought a new MacBook. I want physical keys, not a touchscreen that can easily be touched accidentally. I know it's not at all ideal, but have you tried looking for a used MacBook without the Touch Bar?

Dec 7, 2019 at 15:11 comment added bmike @benwiggy Since OP made a significant edit, I'm clearing the close votes and have put some words in your mouth by editing your comment. Forgive me if I overstepped.
Dec 7, 2019 at 15:10 comment added bmike I regret that we don't have a place to hold such a constructive and empathetically human rant as the first version of this post. I think I would thoroughly enjoy meeting you David and talking about human computer interfaces and getting things done. I think people are missing your equal passion for the software and apps which make this hardware infuriatingly close to something you'd find useful or even better if it can accommodate you.

Dec 7, 2019 at 14:51 comment added David Hammen @Tetsujin - I've complete removed the rant nature of my question. I'll retain the rant here: I hate my new MacBook. At this point, I'd rather have a Windows machine -- and I haven't had a Windows machine for 30 years.

Dec 7, 2019 at 14:33 comment added David Hammen @Tetsujin - I've tried to make this answerable by asking how to change the sensitivity on the touch bar. Every answer to date says how to turn this off, which is not an answer.

Dec 7, 2019 at 14:31 comment added David Hammen Yes, this is a rant. It's a rant to which people should pay attention. I'm not the only one who has not taken typing classes (who cares in a realm where a few lines of code per hour is high productivity), and I'm not the only one with essential tremor.
Dec 7, 2019 at 14:29 comment added David Hammen It's the accidental grazes on the Touch Bar escape key that are killing me. It takes intent to make a key press register on a reasonable machine. All it takes on a Mac with a Touch Bar is the slightest graze -- and there's no control on the sensitivity as far as I can tell, even after calling Apple for help.
