Coping with a Touch Bar on a MacBook Pro

Install Karabiner-Elements: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/
In Karabiner-Elements' preferences
1. Disable the Touch Bar's esc key
  1. Simple Modifications
    1. Target Device: "No product name (No manufacturer name)", is the Touch Bar
      - From key: escape
      - To key: vk_none (disable this key)
2. Make `~ act as esc and fn + `~ act as `~
  - Import Pok3r Escape Key complex modification rule
    - Direct URL: karabiner://karabiner/assets/complex_modifications/import?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpqrs.org%2Fosx%2Fkarabiner%2Fcomplex_modifications%2Fjson%2Fpok3r-escape.json
    - See also: https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/complex_modifications/#pok3r-escape
  - This rule isn't perfect. I plan to work on improving it. For example, Apple's "force quit" key combination doesn't work.
  - I've noticed that the karabiner: URL schema allows file: arguments.
