Touch Bar是新一代MacBook Pro机型上的矩形Retina触摸屏。(Retina)根据您的使用方式，小屏幕可以提高您的工作效率并帮助您更快地完成工作。
本教程将帮助您更好地了解Touch Bar的设计方式和工作原理。此外，您还将了解如何自定义MacBook Pro 触控栏(MacBook Pros Touch Bar)。
注意：我们在本教程中使用了运行 macOS Monterey的(Monterey)MacBook Pro 2019 。本教程中的方法适用于所有运行 macOS Big Sur和Catalina且兼容Touch Bar 的(Touch)MacBook Pro(MacBook Pros)。
了解 MacBook 的触控栏
Touch Bar(Touch Bar—1st)有两代或两种类型——第一代和第二代。第 1 代Touch Bar在最左角有一个Escape ( Esc ) 键，而第 2 代(Esc)Touch Bar没有。配备第 2 代触控栏的(Touch Bar)MacBook在(MacBooks)触控(Touch Bar)栏外有一个独立的物理Esc键。
您会在 2020款 MacBook Pro(MacBook Pro)及更新版本上找到第二代触控栏。(Touch Bar)2019款MacBook Pro和较旧的MacBook Pro机型配备第一代触控栏(Touch Bar)。Touch Bar硬连线到 MacBook的硬件，因此不可升级。
触控栏包含三个部分：控制条(Control Strip)、App Control/Quick Actions和系统(System)按钮。
触控栏“控制条”
控制条(Control Strip)是触控栏(Touch Bar)右侧的可扩展部分。此部分包含系统级控件，例如显示亮度、键盘背光、扬声器音量、屏幕截图工具、Siri等。默认情况下，macOS 显示一个折叠版本的控制条(Control Strip)，它同时只包含四个按钮。
您还会在Control Strip的左侧找到一个左向箭头键。点击箭头键可展开控制条并显示(Control Strip)触控栏中(Touch Bar)可用的所有系统级控制。
“应用程序控制”部分
第 1 代和第 2 代触控栏(Touch Bar)的这一部分包含特定于应用程序的快捷方式。App Controls部分中的按钮将根据应用程序或正在进行的任务不断变化。例如，如果您在Notes应用程序中输入内容，您会找到用于添加表情符号、输入建议、文本格式等的快捷方式。
对于Safari，App Controls部分显示搜索按钮、浏览器选项卡缩略图、选项卡导航按钮等。在Apple Music或Podcasts应用程序中播放媒体时，App Control部分显示播放控件——播放、暂停、下一步等。
“系统按钮”部分
Escape ( Esc ) 键是第一代Touch Bar上“系统按钮”部分的唯一占用者。您会在MacBook(MacBook)触控栏(Touch Bar)的左角找到该键。
如何自定义MacBook Pro 触控栏(MacBook Pro Touch Bar)
您只能自定义 MacBook 的控制条(Control Strip)和应用程序(App)部分。第一代Touch Bar上的系统按钮(System Buttons)无法自定义、重新排列或移除。我们将向您展示如何自定义MacBook的触控栏控制条(Touch Bar Control Strip)和应用程序控件(App Controls)。
自定义触控栏(Your Touch Bar)上的控制条(Control Strip)
- 打开系统(System) 偏好设置(Preferences)并选择键盘(Keyboard)。
- 前往“键盘”选项卡并确保选中“显示控制条(Show Control Strip)”框。选择自定义控制条(Customize Control Strip)继续。
- 要将按钮添加到控制条(Control Strip)，请将它们拖到屏幕底部。然后，当按钮出现在Control Strip(Control Strip)上的首选位置时，松开鼠标或触控板。
- 要删除按钮，请将光标移动到屏幕底部的控制条(Control Strip)中。然后，导航到要删除的项目，单击并将其向上拖动到 MacBook 的屏幕中。当您在按钮上方
看到从触控栏中(Touch Bar)移除时，松开鼠标或触控板。
- 点击触控栏(Touch Bar)上的左箭头以展开控制条(Control Strip)并查看所有自定义选项。
- 您还可以重新排列或更改 MacBook控制条(Control Strip)上项目的位置。打开控制条(Control Strip)自定义窗口（参见步骤#2）并用手指将按钮拖动到您喜欢的位置。
- 将(Drag)“默认设置(Default Set)”组拖到触控栏中(Touch Bar)以将控制条(Control Strip)排列重置为出厂默认设置。
- 在屏幕上选择完成(Select Done)以保存您的自定义。或者，轻点触控栏(Touch Bar)左上角的完成(Done)。
自定义 Touch Bar 的应用程序控件(App Controls)
macOS 允许您自定义在Touch Bar上显示的按钮或特定于应用程序的控件。并非所有应用程序都允许您修改显示在触控栏中(Touch Bar)的按钮。在我们的测试设备上，我们只能为Apple应用程序定制Touch Bar按钮——Notes、 Safari、Finder、Calculator等。
许多第三方或非 Apple 应用程序不支持修改其触控栏(Touch Bar)控件。因此，只有应用程序开发人员才能对此类应用程序的触控栏(Touch Bar)控件进行编程。
以下是在支持的应用程序中自定义触控栏(Touch Bar)应用程序部分的方法：
- 打开一个应用程序，选择菜单栏上的查看，然后选择(View)自定义触控栏(Customize Touch Bar)。
- 要将项目添加到触控栏(Touch Bar)，请将其拖到屏幕底部。当项目出现在触控栏(Touch Bar)上时松开触控板或鼠标。
在 Mac 上更改触控栏设置
您已经学会了在 Mac 的触控栏(Touch Bar)界面中移除和添加项目。接下来，我们将向您展示如何调整您的触控栏(Touch Bar)设置以及您的键盘和触控栏(Touch Bar)交互。
显示扩展的控制条
如前所述，macOS默认在每台MacBook上显示折叠版本的(MacBook)控制条(Control Strip)。控制条(Control Strip)在折叠时显示四个按钮，在展开时显示多达 14 个按钮。
以下是如何将您的Mac设置为始终在触控栏上
显示扩展版本的控制条：(Control Strip)
- 转到System Preferences > Keyboard，转到“键盘”选项卡，然后打开“触摸栏显示”下拉菜单。
- 选择扩展控制条。
您的MacBook现在将在触控栏上的(Touch Bar)控制条(Control Strip)中显示所有系统级控件。
在触控栏中(Touch Bar)显示和保留功能键(Keep Function Keys)
Touch Bar 取代了新一代MacBook Pro笔记本电脑上的物理功能 (Fn) 键。(physical function (Fn) keys)但当然，支持 Touch Bar 的MacBook Pro仍然支持功能键。
以下是在 Mac 的Touch Bar(Touch Bar)上显示和保留功能键的方法：
- 转到System Preferences > Keyboard，打开“键盘”选项卡，然后展开按住(Press)fn 键以下拉菜单。
- 选择显示 F1、F2 等键。
按(Press)键盘上的 fn 键以显示 Touch Bar 的 ( F1 – F12 ) 功能键。
- 想让您的Mac始终在(Mac)触控栏(Touch Bar)上显示功能键吗？展开(Expand)Touch Bar显示下拉菜单，然后选择 F1、F2等键(Keys)。

How to Customize a MacBook Touch Bar
Τhe Touch Bar is a rectangular Retina touchscreen on new-generation MacBook Pro models. Depending on how you use it, the tiny screen can improve your productivity and help you get things done faster.
This tutorial will help you better understand how the Touch Bar is designed and how it works. Additionally, you’ll learn how to customize MacBook Pros Touch Bar.
Note: We utilized a MacBook Pro 2019 running macOS Monterey for this tutorial. The methods in the tutorial apply to all Touch Bar-compatible MacBook Pros running macOS Big Sur and Catalina.
Know Your MacBook’s Touch Bar
There are two generations or types of Touch Bar—1st generation and 2nd generation. The 1st generation Touch Bar has an Escape (Esc) key in the far-left corner, while the 2nd generation Touch Bar doesn’t. MacBooks with the 2nd generation Touch Bar have a standalone physical Esc key outside the Touch Bar.
You’ll find the 2nd generation Touch Bar on the 2020 MacBook Pro and newer editions. The 2019 MacBook Pro and older MacBook Pro models have the 1st generation Touch Bar. A Touch Bar is hardwired to your MacBook’s hardware, so it’s not upgradeable.
Touch Bars have three sections: Control Strip, App Control/Quick Actions, and System button.
Touch Bar “Control Strip”
The Control Strip is the expandable section on the right side of the Touch Bar. This section houses system-level controls like display brightness, keyboard backlight, speaker volume, screenshot tool, Siri, etc. By default, macOS displays a collapsed version of the Control Strip which houses only four buttons simultaneously.
You’ll also find a left-facing arrow key to the left of the Control Strip. Tapping the arrow key expands the Control Strip and reveals all system-level controls available in the Touch Bar.
The “App Controls” Section
This section of the 1st and 2nd-generation Touch Bar houses app-specific shortcuts. The buttons in the App Controls section will constantly vary by app or ongoing task. For example, if you’re typing in the Notes app, you’ll find shortcuts for adding emojis, typing suggestions, text formatting, and more.
For Safari, the App Controls section displays a search button, browser tabs thumbnails, tab navigation buttons, etc. When playing media in the Apple Music or Podcasts app, the App Control section shows playback controls—play, pause, next, etc.
The “System Buttons” Section
The Escape (Esc) key is the only occupant of the “System Button” section on the 1st-generation Touch Bar. You’ll find the key in the left corner of your MacBook’s Touch Bar.
How to Customize MacBook Pro Touch Bar
You can only customize your MacBook’s Control Strip and App section. The System Buttons on the 1st-generation Touch Bar cannot be customized, rearranged, or removed. We’ll show you how to customize your MacBook’s Touch Bar Control Strip and App Controls.
Customize the Control Strip on Your Touch Bar
- Open System Preferences and select Keyboard.
- Head to the “Keyboard” tab and ensure the Show Control Strip box is checked. Select Customize Control Strip to proceed.
- To add buttons to the Control Strip, drag them to the bottom of the screen. Then, release your mouse or trackpad when the button appears in your preferred position on the Control Strip.
- To remove a button, move your cursor to the bottom of the screen into the Control Strip. Then, navigate to the item you want to remove, click and drag it up into your MacBook’s screen. Release your mouse or trackpad when you see Remove from Touch Bar above the button.
- Tap the left-facing arrow on the Touch Bar to expand the Control Strip and view all customization options.
- You can also rearrange or change the placement of items on your MacBook’s Control Strip. Open the Control Strip customization window (see step #2) and use your finger to drag buttons to your preferred position.
- Drag the Default Set group into the Touch Bar to reset the Control Strip arrangement to factory default.
- Select Done on the screen to save your customizations. Alternatively, tap Done in the left corner of the Touch Bar.
Customize Your Touch Bar’s App Controls
macOS allows you to customize what buttons or app-specific controls appear on your Touch Bar. Not all applications let you modify buttons that show up in the Touch Bar. On our test device, we could only customize Touch Bar buttons for Apple apps—Notes, Safari, Finder, Calculator, etc.
Many third-party or non-Apple apps didn’t support the modifications of their Touch Bar controls. As a result, only the app developers can program the Touch Bar controls for such apps.
Here’s how to customize the Touch Bar app section in supported apps:
- Open an app, select View on the menu bar, and select Customize Touch Bar.
- To add an item to the Touch Bar, drag it to the bottom of the screen. Release your trackpad or mouse when the items appear on the Touch Bar.
Change Touch Bar Settings on Mac
You’ve learned to remove and add items to your Mac’s Touch Bar interface. Next, we’ll show you how to tweak your Touch Bar settings and your keyboard and Touch Bar interaction.
Show Expanded Control Strips
As mentioned, macOS displays the collapsed version of the Control Strip by default on every MacBook. The Control Strip shows four buttons when collapsed and up to 14 buttons when expanded.
Here’s how to set your Mac to always show the expanded version of the Control Strip on the Touch Bar:
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard, head to the “Keyboard” tab, and open the “Touch Bar show” drop-down menu.
- Select Expanded Control Strip.
Your MacBook will now display all system-level controls in the Control Strip on the Touch Bar.
Show and Keep Function Keys in the Touch Bar
The Touch Bar replaced physical function (Fn) keys on new-generation MacBook Pro laptops. But of course, your Touch Bar-enabled MacBook Pro still supports function keys.
Here’s how to show and keep function keys on your Mac’s Touch Bar:
- Go to System Preferences > Keyboard, open the “Keyboard” tab, and expand the Press and hold fn key to drop-down menu.
- Select Show F1, F2, etc. Keys.
Press the fn key on your keyboard to show the Touch Bar’s (F1 – F12) functions keys.
- Want your Mac to always display the function keys on the Touch Bar? Expand the Touch Bar shows drop-down menu, and select F1, F2, etc. Keys.
