I understand. I do have a USB hub, so I should be fine. I will have 14 days to make certain this is what I want. I am looking forward to returning to the Mac. I ordered a book in braille from National Braille Press on using the Mac which I will use for reference, along with I expect to be great assistance from this list. I have numerous messages saved in a folder called Apple for reference as well.

Once you get use to it, the absence of regular F-keys is a non-issue. I really don’t miss having F-keys. I would much rather have the extra USB ports - Brad - On Jun 1, 2021, at 00:14, Les Kriegler <kriegle...@gmail.com <mailto:kriegle...@gmail.com> > wrote: Hi Brad, This was probably the main reason I went with the Air, as I wanted regular function keys and did not wish to deal with the Touch Bar. My unit is scheduled to arrive this Thursday. Meanwhile, I appreciate all of the discussion on key commands!

I am able to use CTRL + Eject, on my 2018 Mac mini, with an Apple wired USB keyboard, to bring up a shut down dialogue. This key-command does not work on my 2019 MacBook Pro 13, because TouchBar Macs do not have an Eject key. - Brad - -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
