Any updates on this? I really like the default touch bar in some apps (illustrator for instance), but never use the software escape key. So it would love the option to remove it and have some more touch bar space. Or the option to replace it with something useful like a clock would be great as well. I don't seem to be able to do that while keeping all the other default touch bar functionalities.
Isn't this function in the new version yet? Or is it disabled because I'm on a 13" MBP (with esc mapped to the upper-leftmost physical key, eg. the useless paragraph symbol key)?
