We show you how to discover the true power of multi-touch trackpad, so let’s put it into something practical. BetterTouchTool allows users to set different multi-touch finger gestures for different programs independently. For instance, you can set 3 fingers swipe to save the documents in Photoshop. And, at the same time, set the same 3 fingers swipe to open a document in Microsoft Word.
You will have to choose the type of MacBook or Mac you are using for the first time. I think you will know whether your MacBook have multi-touch trackpad. (The 2 finger multi-touch is not counted as “multi-touch trackpad”). It will show a complicated interface. Actually, you will only have to press the “+” button on the left side for adding new program. Then, press “+” button at the right side to add the gesture. Double click the items at the “key command” to set the actions you want.
BetterTouchTool can also work with Magic Mouse for unleashing its multi-touch power. It has an icon on the Apple menu bar so you can change the settings quickly. The developer said it’s not very stable, so use it at your own risk. I found this app is extremely fun that I can finally do more for the multi-touch gestures. You know, you can only enable and disable in the system preferences.
