Visit The MagicPrefs Homepage homebrew (Free) MagicPrefs Lets you define custom gestures for MacBook’s Trackpad, Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse. Luckily for me, during one of my visits over my friends at Carambola, Roey Yaniv saved my sanity and showed me a solution named MagicPrefs. I felt like a crazy person when moving from my Magic Mouse back to my MacBook’s Trackpad due to the lack of gesture consistency.

here is a free collection of some that I found very useful (for my taste, the two “if” “fi” commands alone were worth purchasing the PowerPack) Workflows are custom commands that can automate just about anything - you can write ones yourselves or just tap to a wide range of existing ones. While the free version doesn’t really offer much more than a fancier spotlight search, the PowerPack is a completely different story and well worth it’s price.Īside from searching files and launching apps, Alfred enables automation by a notion called “Workflows”. Visit Spectacle’s Homepage Alfred 2 (Free) + PowerPack (£17)Īlfred 2 is an alternative to Apple’s built in spotlight.

Spectacle lets you assign keyboard shortcuts for moving and resizing application windows on the same screen and between screens. I was really surprised with how poorly OSX handles multiple application windows on the screen, and maximising/restoring windows by double clicking its header was one of my most popular actions on a PC. Keep in mind that this is a list of tools for power users and developers, that the everyday joe would find completely useless.

I have reverted to the Magic Trackpad 1 but it would be nice if BTT could work in COOT/XQuartz with the Magic Track pad 2 as that allows for more gesture control in other apps.I’ve been a windows power user in the last twenty five years, but decided to purchase a macbook pro as my new computer.ĭuring the last few months, I found some tools I believe every power user and especially a developer should use when moving to a mac and decided to share with future and existing mac owners. I have also installed a local version of COOT and again the Magic Trackpad 2 does not 'middle click' in the XQuartz window yet the Magic Trackpad 1 is working perfectly. I then tried adding other keys to the gesture to hopefully make it unique and got the same result. With the Magic Track pad 2, it works in terminal and safari but does not work in the COOT/XQuartz window. With the Magic Track Pad 1, it works in terminal and safari and in COOT/XQuartz.

I checked that Tap to click and Look up & data detectors are off in System Prefs and then I set BTT to 2 finger click plus shift key for middle click. After reading your post I have just tried modifying the settings again to use something other than three finger click just to be sure. So this does seem to be a specific problem with the Magic trackpad 2. Three finger click as middle click worked in all apps. I then disconnected the trackpad 2 and reconnected the track pad 1. I had made the setting in Global but to be sure I made a specific setting for XQuartz and got the same issue.

It works in the other software but not in the COOT/XQuartz window.

I tried several different gestures including using keys in addition to a gesture and got the same effect. However, in the COOT/XQuartz window, middle click does not work. So for example, I can cut and paste text in Terminal.app by selecting text and middle clicking, with the text being pasted at the cursor as expected and in Safari, middle clicking on a link opens in a new tab. Having installed the latest BTT and checked my settings were still correct (i.e use three finger click to replicate middle click), I discovered that this functions correctly in local Mac apps, it does not work in COOT via the XQuartz window. I got a new Magic trackpad 2 this week and discovered that MagicPrefs did not support this model and so I bought a new licence for BTT which had worked well in the past. I have used BTT and Magicprefs to replicate middle click for this purpose on a Magic trackpad 1 successfully for several years. I need middle click on my input device to centre the view on a particular atom. I ssh -XY into the server to use the software with X forwarding and so the COOT gui runs in an XQuartz window. I use a piece of scientific software (COOT) which runs on our servers it displays 3D atomic co-ordinates of protein molecules. I don't think I explained the issue too well in my previous post so:

I have also tried various other gestures to act as middle click without success in XQuartz and a Magic trackpad2. I have tap to click and Look up & data detectors tap with three fingers disabled in System Prefs. Thanks for the info, unfortunately it does not help my issue.
