So I'm going to tap here in Brightness and drag it to the Trash. So I'm going to go to Customize Control Strip and now I can drag a whole different set of things there. But there are a lot of other things that you can put here. For instance I don't adjust the Brightness of the keyboard or the screen that often and I don't use the Music playback controls here. But you may actually not use these very often.

Now when you go to the Expanded Control Strips setting you get things that look a lot like the keys on a regular Mac keyboard. So if you're not using Touch Bar for anything else but you use a lot of virtual desktops set it to this and have it be the way that you access all of the different desktops. These will stay there so I can continue to use them.

Here I've got two desktops and Safari in full screen and you could see how I can easily switch between these using the Touch Bar. So now you actually see your spaces there. But a really useful thing to do if you use a lot of virtual desktops is Spaces. You can also have it show, by default, the F keys. You can also decide to have something else besides App Controls there like the Expanded Control Strip so it acts just like the top row of keys on a regular keyboard. So you could turn off Control Strip on the right so you have all this space for App Controls. So I'm going to go to Keyboard and then under the Keyboard heading here I've got Touch Bar Shows and normally you would have it set to App Controls with Show Control Strip. This is where you can customize the Touch Bar. So you can see the emoji and special character chooser there. This, of course, is even more useful in Messages. I can go in and jump to any category and then I can tap and drag to scroll through them and pick an emoji that I want to use. So you can use this to browse emoji and special characters without having to bring up the special controls that will overlay part of the screen. Now you may also notice here in Mail there's also a button for emoji. It will even work in a lot of third party apps like for instance Microsoft Word. Like, for instance, the ability to add checkboxes there, the ability to dig into the styles in Notes, you can Indent and Outdent, and you can use the regular styes as well. It's also available in the Notes app but you have even more things here. Here you can see I have the same controls in Mail and here they are in TextEdit in Rich Text Mode. You can see this works in other apps as well. Whereas you may have had this opened in the past you can close it and just concentrate on your writing and then use the Touch Bar to do some styling. How this can be really useful in Pages is that you can get rid of the sidebar for most things. Just like using the regular keyboard shortcut or selecting the styles in the right sidebar. So you could actually tap and then type something and it will use that style there. But if you close the suggestions it actually reveals all this. Now when you don't have text selected, like you're just typing normally, you won't see it here. You have basic colors but you could dig down and actually go to some really good color tools like for instance RGB here and set red, green, and blue colors using sliders and even the opacity.
You could also tap here and then select a color. I can also tap here and then change its style using one of the styles that I've setup for this document. But if I select text then you can see the Touch Bar changes and now I've got the ability to easily style text say by making it Bold or Justifying the text or setting a bullet list style. So you can see here as I'm typing I have suggestions as to what the next word could be. When you're editing text, say in an app like Pages, you can use the Touch Bar to style text. So here are ten things you can do with the Touch Bar without installing any additional software. Therefore it hasn't become a useful productivity tool for them.
