Hi
I have to use a new MacBook Pro at work (a mixed blessing). It has a virtual real ESC key. I find this really awkward when typing Actionscript and using autocomplete. I need a real key (for tactile feedback).
I would like to use the § key at the top left as it is nearest to where the ESC key should be.
I have found and looked at KeyBindings.dict but cannot work out which is the correct key mapping to edit to get what I need.
I can see "$\033" = "previousCompletion:" , but not anything for 'nextCompletion'.
Is it best to attempt this here or at Bundle level??
Thank-you for any ideas, please
Simon

Try giving it some time. I'm on the new MBP too and use autocomplete constantly. At first it was a bit awkward but after a few days it feels natural. Now actually pressing ESC on other laptops feels awkward :D
Alternatively just rebind your keys using something like https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements (I have caps-lock mapped to escape on an older MBP).

Hi George. Interesting. This changes it at a system level?
Would it allow me to use the § key? It seems to be the best key to use for me.

In Sierra you can simply use System Preferences to remap Escape to one of the other modifier keys: https://9to5mac.com/2016/10/25/remap-escape-key-action-macbook-pro-macos-sie...

Less invasive, you can also just customize the TMBundles.

Yes, please. I'd like to do this.
Is there a user-guide on how to do it? I looked at the bundle menu edit and could not see how to do it.

For this one go to edit bundles. Select Bundle Development > Other Actions > Scope Completion The drawer open to the window will have the details. Just click the x in the field labeled Key Equivalent and then record your new key equivalent.

thank-you, but no matter what I type in the field, the autocomplete remains as ESC. I tried the § key and also one with alt-§. They did not work but ESC still did.

yes, but i don't think re-assigning a modifier would suit me as i use them in many applications. simon

Thanks Igor, getting used to it might possible, but I have to switch to a normal keyboard back at home. Also, I use one of my fingers to feel/find the edge of the ESC key is before hitting it. I'd like to explore finding an alternative :)
1. Macros » Start Recording (⌥⌘M) 2. ⎋ 3. Macros » Stop Recording (⌥⌘M) 4. Macros » Save Macro… (⌃⌘M)
Give the macro an appropriate name like “Complete” and set “key equivalent” to §.

thank-you. That works!
I did not know about macros, so now I can use it to create a blank class template :)

It's the top left key next to the '1'. Extended Apple KB with British layout.

Interesting. I'll try it out tomorrow. I've a UK KB at my office. US KB has tilde and backtick on that key, but I'm curious why that key on that kb wouldn't record. And thanks Matt for the screenshot. (it goes through if not in digest mode for mailing list)
Generally, if the option presents itself (at time of order for Macs) I recommend a US keyboard layout for programmers. Mainly because you end up with more shortcuts that work properly even if other bits of the layout are off. Here in Japan it's common practice for programmers, where a JIS keyboard is great if you're typing a lot of Japanese text, it's not so great for coding.

It's not just the § key, I think it's any key. I tried z as an experiment. I tried alt-§. Neither worked.

You should really try to use snippets for that, they’re more reliable and easier to create and modify.

I suggest you remap Caps Lock to Esc. You can do that from System Preferences, Keyboard.
