Best experience I got for me was remapping § (non_us_backslash) to esc with karabiner. The only downside is I sometimes miss the escape key on mechanical keyboards, because I got used to it..
Edit: Whoops, just realised this only makes sense for non US layouts (I'm using a Swiss layout). Guess you need your ~ key, this is what my top-left key looks like:
You kinda can. I couldn't get karabiner to work with the latest versions.
It's weird what gets changed in MacOS versions. For every thing they fix they bring in some other unnecessary restriction.
Apple don't use ISO layouts, so their "UK" keyboard is a half US, half UK and half Stargate DHD.
Are you saying Karabiner doesn't work with macOS Catalina? Another reason not to upgrade :D I'm using a fantastic Microsoft Keyboard with Mac and Karabiner is essential :D
Everyday something new. And I even searched for this, and all my colleagues have Mac and no one told me about this... Anyway I like the touchbar and the fact that it can be configured(via 3rd party apps) in any way you want.
Seriously! That whole bar seems designed to allow me to accidentally click on Siri when I do not want to but have difficulty clicking on a button that I actually want to click.
No words necessary.
The newest MacOS lets you remap capslock to escape, so it'll work like real operating systems.
You can do this with karabiner on all OS versions
And even take it to a crazy level with this: github.com/Vonng/Capslock

I'm not certain if it does now; it didn't when I upgraded.
Ahahahaha!
But it can run linux!

Ditto. Finally I can hit a physical ESC key on my 16" MBP, I'm ok with the TouchBar but they should have put a separate ESC key from the beginning.

Thanks to that, I can have the thing I missed most on the Mac keyboard
When you press

My god, every bloody day. Do you want to use Siri? Noooo!!!
You can remove Siri from the touchbar in the system preferences. First thing I did when I got my mbp:D
This is a very apt metaphor for the whole Apple ecosystem.
Best comment I've seen all week.
This is what USB mechanicals are for!
