Have touchbar show vol up, vol down, brightness up, brightness down buttons by default

touch-bar

How can I make my touch bar ALWAYS show the Volume Down, Volume Up, Brightness Down, Brightness Up buttons?

I absolutely hate having to touch the button, look down at the slider, and try to drag it into the right position.

Is it possible for me just to show these controls by default (basically the old keyboard layout)?

Best Answer

Yes, you can go into System Preferences and set the default view for the Touch bar.

  1. Open the System Preferences app.
  2. Select the Keyboard option (third row, sixth item)
  3. On the first tab (also called Keyboard), locate the dropdown for "Touch Bar shows" and choose "Expanded Control Strip".
