I am looking at getting the 13 inch macbook pro with the touchbar. I am going to be using it for Xcode development. I was wondering how does Xcode use the touchbar. Meaning that what function keys for xcode come up on the touchbar?

From this article:
New features in the IDE to support Touch Bar development include:
- Touch Bar displays context-specific buttons when in the Xcode editor, commit sheet, navigator and Interface Builder.
- Debug button in the Control Strip lets you pause and inspect your app while Xcode is in the background.
- Interface Builder button updates the frames of selected objects and their children.
- Classes in Interface Builder make it easy to add Touch Bar features to your Mac apps.
- Touch Bar simulator works on any Mac so you can see how your app works with the Touch Bar.

@TonyAdams I guess they heard me, cause it now has step-over, step-into, etc, buttons on the touchscreen. – ConfusedDeer Jan 26 '18 at 16:29

1@ConfusedDeer I was looking for that feature, I don't see it on Xcode 10, where do you see it? – Genki Sep 27 '18 at 17:11
