I use this feature for other touch cases (e.g. unlocking 1Password) but would hate it when in the flow.
Admittedly my password is well wired into my fingers.
Google gives me no answers and I assumed it was not fundamentally impossible, just that it was two separate companies with two separate production lines making touchscreens and fingerprint sensors so it was hard in practice due to the realities of supply chains.
Many existing fingerprint sensors, like TouchID, were glass, and I wonder why they can't just make it bigger and put an OLED under that glass (even if it was only dense enough for fingerprints at one spot).
Yet here we are, 4 years after the downgrade too FaceID, and still not a single phone in existence with a capacitive fingerprint sensor in the screen.
Am I wrong about the technology or what?
I haven't tried it myself ...
I haven't used a full size keyboard in so long, I had to think about the print reference. I have lost direct placement of Home/Print Screen/End type button locations in my memory. To be more accurate to the keyboard in question, it is a slight extension past the delete key. The only hazard is if you come up short, you might bring up Siri (depending on touchbar mode) which is an even bigger distraction. </pedanticmode>
Yeah - that is a deterrent.
