I was wondering if anyone uses it for their touchbar and if people find it useful?
 
I've been using BTT extensively for the past few years, mostly with trackpad gestures. I have 20+ shortcuts for different software, which usually copy existing 2nd tier shortcuts (e.g. shortcuts not used very often, but just often). For instance I have gestures for opening and closing tabs in Safari (while browsing, you usually use trackpad and not keyboard, so it's faster).

I tried. I really, really tried liking the TouchBar. I installed several preset layouts for BTT and used them several weeks. I have to admit that BTT authour is a genius and he pulled all the possible functionality out of the thing.

But he couldn't fix the one thing that is wrong with the TouchBar - it's an ergonomical disaster.

After a few weeks I discovered that I don't use this stuff on TouchBar, because it simply takes too long and takes the focus down from the screen.

I am also using it but I decided to not use it anymore because everytime there is a delay when switching between apps. My configuration is like this
 
I just installed it. All I can say is wow what is apple doing? It actually makes the touchbar 100x more useful. Its amazing.

I have used it, and didn’t really like it. I was never a huge touch bar fan, it was nice at times. The one I downloaded had a lot of shortcuts and even adjusted my windows, to have my left side with a word doc and my right side with a safari tab. I didn’t really care ab BTT, after using it for a month. I am neutral, nothing better. Nothing worse
