Apple removed the escape key and replaced it with the OLED touch bar. This has implications for emacs users, particularly for UNIX/emacs users who have decades of muscle memory to overcome with this change. Fortunately the touch bar escape key appears to always be there when you need it, but is more difficult to feel and is offset from the tilde key making it even more difficult.

Time will tell if it is possible to retrain muscle memory to reliably hit this new escape key, but in the meantime I am looking for another strategy to replace the escape key when using emacs.

Any help?
