One day I found out that my Macbook pro has this small wide display called Touch Bar. But I found myself using only volume and brightness buttons. So I wonder: How do you use Macbook pro Touch bar? E.g. I found my Telegram desktop app can show GIFs on a touch bar small display. I don't use it to choose one GIF and send it to a friend. I use it just to see some weird animals dancing on my keyboard.

since Big Sur, my TouchBar seems to have committed suicide. *sniff*

IntelliJ has nice shortcuts on the TouchBar that are changing dynamically depending on the context. E.g. shortcuts to start project, or if you're in debug mode there are step-in, step-over etc other than that I rarely use it... oh yeah, one thing for sure - spotify music -> next song :D

Safari bookmarks on web browser is probably my most common use case.
