BETTERTOUCHTOOL MOVE MOUSE TO POSITION SOFTWARE
The answer is that I had grand ideas for programming one but hadn’t found the software I needed to do it. After all, it’s been out more than a year. You might be wondering what took me so long to get on board with the Magic Trackpad.
BETTERTOUCHTOOL MOVE MOUSE TO POSITION WINDOWS
Which means– Dave– that you could use BetterTouchTool to create a keyboard shortcut for moving windows from screen to screen on your enviable two-monitor rig. Note that it has sections for the Magic Mouse and the keyboard in addition to the one for the Magic Trackpad. Here’s what BetterTouchTool looks like (these are the settings that I use). And, in case you’re hungry for more, get a load of the things that BetterTouchTool can do: I also added a three-finger-tap-in-the-middle-of-the-trackpad gesture to automatically center the frontmost window. The keyboard requires a firmer touch, and when you’re switching between apps all day it’s nice to do it without having to press very hard. Sure, you can do some or all of this from the keyboard, but for me the trackpad is handier. I also have buttons to toggle Mission Control and to show the Desktop. At the bottom, I have a button to toggle the effects of Desktop Curtain* (it hides all other apps, and also hides desktop icons, making it easier to focus). That is, if I tap in the top left corner of my Magic Trackpad, the Contacts app comes to the front. Here’s how I’ve used it to configure my Magic Trackpad: With BetterTouchTool your Magic Trackpad will be ultra-configurable, super-programmable, and highly-personalizable. Now let’s talk about turning something on: namely, the “pay what you want” BetterTouchTool (donations accepted). You might, for example, want to turn off the “two-finger double-tap smart zoom.” That one drives unsuspecting users absolutely bonkers.
If you have a Magic Trackpad (or, come to think of it, if you have ANY kind of trackpad, including the built-in ones on the MacBooks and MacBook Pros), a careful review of the options available in the Trackpad Preference Pane is well worth the time. It defaults to having everything turned on, but you’ll probably want to turn a few things off, at least at first, lest you inadvertently trigger some action by making an accidental gesture you didn’t know existed. You get to customize the Magic Trackpad’s settings to a certain degree using Apple’s Trackpad Preference Pane in the System Preferences. The Magic Trackpad is wireless, comes with batteries, and is $69 (list price). Also, you can program the Magic Trackpad to click with just a tap instead of a full-on “click,” reducing effort. This reduces repetitive motion, which is what tires out your clicking fingers.
That’s a big target, which means you don’t have to put your clicking finger into any particular position in order to click. Second, the entire surface of the Magic Trackpad is clickable. Just place it on top of the giant pile of stuff where your desk used to be and the Magic Trackpad is ready to go. In fact, you don’t need any room on your desk to use the Magic Trackpad. First, you don’t need a lot of room on your desk to use the Magic Trackpad. The Magic Trackpad has a couple of big advantages compared to the mouse. I’m using one with my iMac and after a couple of days getting used to it, I’m hooked. It’s like a MacBook Pro’s trackpad, only bigger, and designed for use with a desktop Mac.
