The MacBook Pro's TouchBar can be useful within apps, providing shortcuts to extra functionality and features. However, there's more to the tiny strip of touchscreen on Apple's MacBook Pro. TouchBar Dino (download) is an app that puts the classic Google Chrome Dino game on your Touch Bar. You can tap on the Touch Bar of your MacBook Pro to make the dino jump over obstacles. It’s a fun way to kill some time. SEE ALSO: How to Get TouchBar Functionality on Any Mac.

MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) and later and MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) and later feature the Touch Bar, which changes automatically based on the application that you're using to show you relevant, familiar tools and controls. On some models, the Esc button appears on the left side of the Touch Bar, in the same place the physical Esc key appears on traditional keyboards.
Sometimes tools in the Touch Bar temporarily cover the Esc button:
After you tap or the Done button, Esc reappears.
How to use another key as Esc
You can choose a physical key to act as Esc, temporarily or permanently:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
- Select Keyboard.
- In Keyboard preferences, click Modifier Keys.
- Use one of the pop-up menus to choose another key to act as Esc.
For example, if you choose Escape to the right of the Control (^) Key label, pressing Control has the same results as pressing Esc: it closes menus that are open, and pressing Control-Option-Command makes the Force Quit Applications window appear.

You might not be able to use the Esc button in the Touch Bar if the app you're using becomes unresponsive.
If you need to use Esc to force an app to close, you can switch to another app and try Option-Command-Escape. You can also choose Apple menu > Force Quit.
If that doesn't work, or if your Touch Bar doesn't respond in any app, restart your Mac. Choose Apple menu > Restart or, if your Mac isn't responding, press and hold Touch ID (power button) until your Mac turns off.
