I'm just solving the problem of inefficient key placement. That's good to know about iTerm 2. I tried iTerm2 several years ago and didn't like it, but I don't remember why. I'll give it another try.
Of course, it would be nice if we had the option of doing such a remapping system-wide.
I know. I just always found that combo to be a bit awkward. But I probably could get used to it.
Kind of funny to see nothing but bitching and ignorance on these forums.
Btw;Mac sales account for tiny 5% of Apple revenue. If Apple decided to stop entirely manufacturing and development of PCs, they wouldn't even notice the difference in their profits.
PS; All I wish for is 4 USB C/Thunderbolt ports and removal of old legacy USB 3, SD card reader and headphone jack.
Based on this image, looks like the screen dimensions are about 28.75 x 17.97cm (i.e. 13.3-inch diagonal) and by doing some perspective transforms, I think the body's about 30.38 x 21.31cm. So only slightly less wide than the current rMBP 13 and about the same depth.
control + option + fn + delete, assuming the fn key is still there.
Lol yourself. Please don't go criticizing me. It's the height of arrogance and act of being close minded. Ever considered there are new, smart and better ways to use a laptop??? MacBook knows exactly when you're operating the trackpad for larger screen work or using the multitouch display for specific tasks. Game consoles solve this a decade ago or more. AS ONE CONSIDERATION, EVER CONSIDERED THE ISIGHT CAMERA TRACKS YOUR EYE POSITION TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOU'RE INTERACTING WITH THE LARGER DISPLAY OR THE MULTITOUCH TRACKPAD? It's a little thing called intelligent software and hardware human interaction. Have a nice day friend.

do you think the people who are concerned about the lack of a 'physical' escape key are not aware of this?
This is a big deal to me and the way I use my software so no need to trivialise it to believe that saying it will appear contextually is problem solved. It isn't unfortunately, however we will see how it goes.
The day Apple announces Xcode for Windows is the day I'll know Macintosh is finished. But until then, Apple has to make macs that are suitable for developing the apps that run on its phones and watches.
TouchID integrated under an OLED display?
Thinking about next iPhone it means no more bezels. So that's a great news.
I wouldn't use touchID on the Mac since I can unlock it by wearing Watch and I don't use Apple Pay, but the OLED bar looks good!

As far as I remember, they always use "Macbook Pro", when its a new design. Most likely to get people accustomed to it - but i must admit it looks very much like the old one
[doublepost=1477465935][/doublepost]Aww.. I guess they won't get that bezel any smaller - maybe because its one of the things that will make you recognize its a macbook
Adding a finger print sensor is useful. My 2007 Thinkpad had one and it worked well, but it's hardly innovation in 2016... I have no need for a toolbar - it's gimmicky.
Overall, as a user, I'm just worried about the direction that Apple is heading as its products are increasingly "lifestyle" rather than "getting stuff done". Which is great if your into buying toys for your toys and coming up with increasingly esoteric "uses" for technology, but so little of it lives up to the hype.
The last bastion for me - the MBP is becoming less "for me" and more of a fashion accessory.
Sweet Jesus. What an awful idea.hmmm. could the glass trackpad be of better use?
Surely I can't be the only member here who realizes that the Esc button can and will appear virtually on the touch bar...
Speculations: I predict the magic toolbar will have an independent processor which makes it work in a "default" mode when not programmed by apps - in that mode it'll display the current function keys row and emulate physical buttons even when not running macOS. It'll also have 3D touch and vibration feedback. That way, you can configure it to only work when pressed with force, so you can rest your finger on it, maybe getting some overlay on the bottom of the screen that shows you where your finger is. I can bet Apple has tried to make using this strip as good as using physical keys.
That is absolutely terrible.Lol yourself. Please don't go criticizing me. It's the height of arrogance and act of being close minded.

Explain yourself. Justify your position. Don't waste people's time in the forum with pointless negativity.
That "magic toolbar" looks nice, but I wonder how Bootcamp will handle that. Moreover, OLED screens tend to fail/fade over time. Americans usually buy new Macbooks more frequently (because it's less expensive), so it's a no issue, but 8-10 years seem to be a reasonable time for keeping a Mac outside USA. For example, in Brazil, a basic 15" rMBP costs US$4500 instead of US$1899.
[doublepost=1477468445][/doublepost]Oh no. Butterfly keyboard... This is not a pro notebook. Then it will be Lenovo thinkpad for me. Real keyboard not the ****** thin ones in the new macbook.
macOS Sierra 10.12.1, released yesterday, includes hidden Apple Pay images that depict the brand new MacBook Pro with an OLED touch panel that's set to be announced by Apple on Thursday, October 27.
In addition to confirming that such a product is in the works, the images give us our first full look at the redesigned MacBook Pro ahead of its launch. An OLED touch panel is located on top of the keyboard, where the function keys would normally be placed, and it very clearly supports Touch ID, as it is seen used with Apple Pay.
As has been rumored, the touch panel, which may be called the "Magic Toolbar," appears to be contextual, changing based on what's on the screen. In the images, Apple Pay dialog is depicted, asking a customer to confirm a purchase with a finger on the panel. It appears Touch ID is built into a nearly-invisible power button located next to the display.
Aside from the OLED touch panel, the new MacBook Pro looks similar in design to the existing models. It looks like the 13-inch MacBook Pro is used in the images, suggesting the machine will gain speakers located at the side of the keyboard.
Thickness can't be determined from the orientation of the MacBook Pro in the images, but rumors suggest the new machine is thinner and lighter weight than existing models. A redesigned hinge can be seen in the images, suggesting it is indeed quite a bit thinner. Also visible are much flatter keys, similar in design to the keys of the Retina MacBook, which use a new butterfly mechanism.
Ports are not visible, but based on past part leaks, we're expecting four USB-C ports and a headphone jack, with the HDMI port, MagSafe port, and SD card slot being eliminated.
Apple will announce the new MacBook Pro on Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 a.m. A new MacBook Air model is also expected, and new iMacs are a possibility. MacRumors will provide live coverage of the event both on MacRumors.com and on the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.
(Thanks, Richard!)
