Please help me fix this MacBook Pro Touch Bar problem Hello there. I've set Touch Bar to show App Controls and Control Strip when I hold the fn key, but I've set it to show F1-F12 keys for several applications. Previously In those applications, I could hold the fn key to show me Control Strip instead of F1-F12 and it was so convenient, but now holding the fn key is not working anymore, Touch Bar constantly showing F1-F12 and I don't know how to get that fn key behaviour back. Please help me to fix this Touch Bar problem... Here are 10 seconds video fragment of how it worked before (F1-F12 switch to Control Strip when you hold the fn key): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU2eqKO-Fz4&t=46s. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Any way to reduce the sensitivity of the touch bar? I keep hitting it when I try to use the top row keys causing all sorts of random behavior.... Unfortunately this is a work thing, otherwise I'd chunk the macbook and get something with keys. I can rip everything off the touch bar I'm aware... but then I don't have the function keys. I could just add them to the fn button I guess, but that seems obnoxious and I lose the ability to change volume/brightness... :\

Touch Bar on MacBook Pro keyboard not automatically changing when opening other apps. How do you restore the settings? Hi there, So I've recently needed to download 'Inspera' for exams and when I used the app, it seems to have automatically changed my Touch Bar keyboard settings. Usually when I open an app e.g. Word, Spotify, Safari, the display options automatically change e.g. the ability to add bullet points or highlight on Word from the Touch Bar. Now, no matter what app I open, it's stuck on the typical 'brightness, media, volume, siri' options. Does anyone know how to restore the settings to how they were before please? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
