This App Solves the Biggest Problem of Your Mac
Shockingly, Apple hasn’t addressed this yet
Mouse and trackpad gestures play a significant role in making macOS the best computer operating system of all time. They make the UI more interactive and the navigation even more fluid.
When Windows users shift to the MacBook for the first time, they’re overwhelmed to learn how many actions the trackpad can perform. Pinching with two fingers zooms in and out on web pages, images, and documents. Three fingers and four-finger swipes switch between full-screen applications and navigate through the opened windows.
Unlike Windows laptops, where the trackpad is only considered an alternative to the traditional mouse, Apple takes full advantage of the hardware, making it more useful than just using it for moving the cursor and invoking left and right clicks.
The same applies to first-time iMac users. The Magic Mouse lacks the mechanical left and right buttons, with a scrolling wheel in the centre. Instead, it features a touch panel that can not only swipe up and down but also swipe horizontally.
