touch bar support

[alessiodf]

It would be nice if the wallet could utilise the Touch Bar in newer MacBook Pro models to carry out certain functions or to aid navigation within the desktop wallet. Electron supports the Touch Bar so from a technical perspective I think it's doable, and there is a Touch Bar Simulator to help with development if you don't have a Touch Bar equipped machine available.

I have a Touch Bar equipped model so would be happy to help if I can. If you are willing to implement this and require my assistance or help with testing then please reach out to me via the usual channels.

can you clarify a few use cases? On my side i can for instance see:

• slider to adjust fees
• quickly switch profile
• quickly select the right word when entering the passphrase (words being filtered as we type)
• refresh account

On the overall something that make UX slightly more confortable.

All of these are very good suggestions. For example also:

When viewing the homepage there could be buttons for actions such as "create wallet" and "import wallet" and tabs to quickly jump to any of the imported wallets.
Inside a wallet there could be buttons for "Send" "Delete wallet" "{Vote|Unvote}" "Sign Message"
When sending a transaction there could be a fee slider with "Send" and "Cancel"
On the plugins page there could be buttons for "Discover" "Open" "Reload"

And for "fun" when creating a wallet maybe you could invite the user to scrub along the touch bar in a random pattern to generate entropy :-)
