My Macbook Pro is 2.5 years old, so I don't have a touch bar. On my desk
I use 2 large monitors + keyboard + mouse, so most of the time I am not
bumping into keyboard issues.
Keyboard: the external keyboard has a Delete key, but not Insert. When
I wake up a member (RPG for example) in RDI its default is the Overwrite
cursor block. But on the screen the word "Insert" appears in 1 or 2
places; click on it to change the mode. Deleting is a little irritating
on the laptop keyboard. It is just a bit more work to move ahead and use
Backspace instead. My keyboards both have F-keys (1-12 on the laptop and
1-19 on the external) so not sure how to address that one. They work as
expected with Shift to reach the higher numbers.
Emulator: I develop nearly 100% in Synon (now CA 2e) ... all green
screen. I use Mocha TN5250 emulator. It works well and is just my
preference. Access Client does exist for Mac but I have not used it.
RDI does all I need with IFS so I have no compelling reason to get
Access Client.
The only gotcha I have for you - very common in Mac world - is that
Windows development is Priority 1 for most software vendors and Mac
development is Priority 7 or so. You WILL encounter software that looks
like the greatest thing ever but, sorry, PC only. Smarter guys like Jon
Paris have taught their Mac to emulate a PC but I have never bothered.
I have owned a lot of computers in my life. I generally don't get
emotional about them ... but I LOVE my Mac.
