How to bring function keys back to MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar

Some people love the Touch Bar. Others simply see no use for it, which can be frustrating now that every MacBook Pro ships with one. If you fall into that second camp, here’s how to bring back traditional function keys.

If you give the Touch Bar a chance, it can actually be pretty useful for all manner of things. But if you just can’t get used to using it the way Apple intended, there are other ways to make it useful.

Turning the Touch Bar into traditional function keys is one of them, and it’s real easy to do.

Turn MacBook Pro’s Touch Bar into function keys

Simply follow the steps below:

  1. Open System Preferences.
  2. Click Keyboard.
  3. Open the drop-down box alongside Touch Bar shows.
  4. Select Expanded Control Strip.

This will bring back all the function keys you’re familiar with, making it easier to adjust display brightness, access features like Mission Control and Launchpad, and control music playback and volume. It also includes an Escape key.
