Apple gestures…quietly revolutionary (I only use 3 out of 14)
- jisaacstone 15y agoI only use one: the two finger scroll. I started using it about a year before I owned any apple laptop (I think it was on a viao?) And it bugs the crap out of me that my lenovo doesn't use it. The two-finger back-forth fills me with rage b/c of how often I have lost unsaved work on the Internet by accidentally going back one page. <sigh> Then again, I do the same thing with [backspace] on my windows box sometimes.

- dlikhten 15y agoI started with two finger scroll on my pc and two finger right click, but it was not the same. I got a mac a few weeks ago and I've been discovering these gestures and loving them. Common ones I use: two finger right click four finger swap fullscreen apps (lion) two finger scroll two finger back/forward (not a very common use case) three finger text select three finger window drag three finger window resize I disabled pinch zoom, hate it. Same with rotation.
- robotchampion 15y agoI'm still getting used to the three fingers stuff. I feel like I'm learning to type all over again, start with one finger, then two...
