You can rebind that in Karabiner. There's even a standard toggle that binds middle mouse key to F8.
Got a tip for us?

Surely that's pretty difficult to do? The logo light is just the backlight of the display, it's not separately powered? I'd prefer for them just to go with the mirrored logo à la the retina MacBook, I personally think it looks a fair bit cleaner and more modern.
I think this USB-C Adapter/Hub fits for most of us who are having a lot of USB-A devices.

yes sir, didn't want to get too specific.
already done a rebind so that when using autocad F8 works as ortho on/off without pausing iTunes, middle mouse click to pan is quite useful to me...so F8 till i die, or till i'll have an f8 key
I just found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thunderbolt_(interface)
It looks like I was wrong according to this but it's still confusing because it says everywhere that TB3 uses 4x PCI express 3.0.
In terms of the 5K Thunderbolt Display w/ eGPU, I doubt apple will include a GPU that acts like a "Graphic Amplifier". Here is my logic:
1. Would it overlap iMac's function? No one want to have a messy product category.
2. The true "Graphic Amplifier" should be the upcoming Mac Pro 7,1, rumoured to include AMD Polaris 10/ Vega 10 Graphic.
3. HSA 2.0. As explained above, a Mac Pro should provide enough graphic power for a MBP when connecting to the MBP in a HSA 2.0 distributed computing mode.
4. Skylake's DisplayPort 1.2 dilemma. If the new MBPs are shipped with only iris pro 580, they will not be able to drive 5K display through only one Thunderbolt 3 cable. Only the ones with discreet graphics (w/ display port 1.3-1.4) are able to do it.
5. Consideration to profitability
In a word, I believe Apple will only include a graphic solution (such as a R9 M380) that is just capable enough to run the system animations and basic tasks in applications that a Mac ships with, which in this context is Display Card just like Radeon HD 2600XTs and GT 130s some people's classic Mac Pro's. As for the Computation Cards like the flashed Maxwells in the cMPs, A Mac Pro with HSA 2.0 or external graphic boxes will suffice.

yeah, i was replying to you about the possibility to use 2x 3.0, but as you can read, the 2x 3.0 only offers 1 TB3 connection, so you was right about the 4 lanes needed.
the LP version, can use 2x 3.0 but as far as i know you can't use it as power connection, only for data/video, but i may be wrong.
Thank you
I made another one for my dream Slate Retina Macbook Pro.
Make it happen Apple.
Take my money!
People NEED to stop confusing this. Thunderbolt 3 can drive a 5K display at 60Hz. Thunderbolt 3 has 8 lanes, not the usual 4 a DisplayPort 1.2 has, that means double the bandwidth. If any of you want to confirm this go to the Thunderbolt website and look for the infographic. It states clearly that it can drive a 5K display at 60Hz just with a single cable.
Off topic:
Thunderbolt 3 comes in two variants the single port controller and the dual port controller. Both use 4x PCI-E 3.0 lanes. The two port controller shares bandwidth when both are using it simultaneously. If the USB-C ports on both sides are indeed all TB3 enabled, they will use two separate Alpine ridge controllers (the dual port config). That will suck 8x PCI-E 3.0. Leaving the usual 4x lanes for the NVMe SSD.
So in conclusion
8x PCIe lanes dedicated to the two alpine ridge chips
4x for the ssd
1x for the airport card

Im talking about display port lanes not pci express....
That's what people get mixed up.
Wait let me look for the pic so everyone can see.

Ermagerd y'all were right!!! A sensational leak is here!!!
(It's new Watch bands which "leaked" before being announced at WWDC. It's a joke that writes itself.)

U wot m8?
I want to extend my screen. I buy new 5k Apple Thunderbolt Display. It conveniently has graphics card and is pretty cool.
Do you suggest I should also get another 5k$ computer just to have extra display? This is beyond retarded. I just want extra display for my MBP when I'm at home.
Maybe in a land where each monitor comes with free 5k MacPro this is possible, but we are like mere mortals discussing stuff here.
Also if I have Mac Pro and Apple 5k display at home, why do I bother with connecting my ****** macbook pro to that?
YUSSS!!
More wristbands!
That's what I'm talking about, Tim!
Throw away those MBP mockups!
Why are you discussing it, though? How it would work is obvious. There are existing solutions that not only pipe data to an external GPU, but pipe the output back through the same cable to an internal screen.
It obviously works! The question is whether it is something we'll see from Apple or not. I say it's unlikely, but even if it was an option I wouldn't buy it. I prefer Dell displays

Read my post. I never say a Mac Pro is necessary. I just don't agree with people willing to use the display as a razor core.
I might be the only one, but I'm super tired of everyone complaining about damn watch bands all of the time. People just won't stop rehashing these old tired arguments over and over again.
I have a question. If one Thunderbolt 3 port uses up 4 lanes of PCIe traffic, how does it support up to 8 lanes of DP 1.2 traffic? Is it taking multiple DP lanes and putting them on a single lane of Thunderbolt 3?

Update 06/01/2016 8:12AM PDT: After speaking to a Coach representative, we’ve learned that the bands should begin arriving to Coach stores on June 6th. The bands have been confirmed to be priced at $150, though sizing is still a mystery. So nothing to do with wwdc
YUSSS!!

I don't get why people are so excited about the new displays with GPU. The GPU will be underpowered, there will probably be some thermal throttling if there device is similar to either the cinema display or iMac, you definitely won't be able to upgrade the card, and we all know Apple's great track record with GPU
And the price
And the price
