Adding Screen Lock Shortcut to Touchbar

[zake]

Hey All,

I'm trying to run a command that will allow me to add the screen lock to touchbar.

I've been using the following command.

defaults write com.apple.controlstrip MiniCustomized -array-add com.apple.system.screen-lock
killall ControlStrip

However when the command runs the touch bar refreshes and everyone on my touch bar goes away and the only shortcut is the screen lock

I want to add the screen lock shortcut to the furtherest right position next to the touch ID sensor.

Some info:
Computer is running 10.14.6

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks @TrH This is exactly what I was looking for.

How would I create the plist itself. Is there a command I need to run in terminal.
