Chris, The power button on the new touch bar is also a touch sensor such as on the iPhone now,
So it will read your finger print as well as turn your machine on. Plus the new machines have a larger touch pad, will be interesting to see how that goes for us.

From the look of their answer to you, Scot, seems like what they actually went for was pressing the command key plus the tripple press of touch ID. IN other words, you press and hold down the command key and while doing so, you tripple press the touch ID.

See the comments from Apple accessibility sent to me just 2 minutes ago. This sounds better and better and I have to compliment Apple in such a quick turn around on this question.

Touch Bar works with VoiceOver, Zoom and Switch Control. For VoiceOver users, Touch Bar uses VoiceOver gestures users already know and love from iOS to navigate and control the information on display in the Touch Bar. To turn VoiceOver on or off, hold the Command key and triple-press the Touch ID button.

Is there a replacement for command F5? Thanks Scott P.S. Thank you all for your hard work. I use Macs every day in my professional life and your accessibility tools make that possible. As a network engineer you help this blind professional every day and I do thank you. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
