Also, it works great together with the new Shortcuts app on macOS Monterey.īetterTouchTool’s developer, Andreas Hegenberg, recently introduced a new feature that is rapidly evolving: the “Notch Bar”.

Nowadays, the app can configure gestures for the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad (1-3), it enables full Touch Bar customization, allows users to define keyboard shortcuts, including a powerful Hyper Key, bind the buttons of mice, create custom mouse gestures, customize the Siri Remote, and connect and configure MIDI devices. In those early days, BetterTouchTool was a simple app for adding customizable gestures to MacBook trackpads and the Magic Mouse. The app was one of the first covered by MacStories back in November 2009.

Leave a comment below and I will be sure to respond.BetterTouchTool is an indispensable Mac app that has stood the test of time. Your feedback, questions, and ideas are important to the development and content of this website. Starting with version 2.430, BTT support three methods of basic scripting via AppleScript, custom BTT URL scheme and an integrated web server. I’ll give it a try and report on my findings. Note: this is a very experimental feature. Under the Sync section, you can choose to sync your BTT actions via iCloud or Dropbox. Under User Interface, you can change the color of the right-sidebar.
With that said, there are several settings for adjusting finger gesture controls, moving and resizing windows, adjusting force touch gestures, enabling and disabling Touch Bar integration, and much more.īelow, are three new settings features that stand out and may be of use to general and advance users. Note: See my article about mapping.įor the most part, BTT settings shouldn’t be messed with unless you know what you’re doing. I don’t use it daily, so basically I mapped the link to an Alfred workflow which enables me to type my assigned keyword trigger, “night,” which toggles the BTT action. For example, I use a BTT action for toggling the macOSs Night Shift feature. Notice also that you can copy a link to activate a trigger. You simply right-click on an action or finger gesture and select the Enable/Disable Selected Trigger. There’s been occasions when I was troubleshooting a BTT trigger, and I would have to delete an action to figure out the problem. One of the features I welcome the most BetterTouchTool 3.0 is the ability to temporarily disable selected actions or finger gestures. Click/tap here to view the column view layout of BTT Repeated Action: you can set actions to automatically repeat.
Apps Colum n: you can be collapse the apps column to only show the app icons.ĥ. Split Right Panel: the right side panel can be split away from the main three panel.Ĥ.
Emojis: One or more emojis can be added to a note, and you can also save the note as the Trigger Name for an action.ģ. Note: it’s easier to use the column view to drag triggers into a folder.Ģ. The new user interface allows for viewing actions in list or column view and configurations, including the pre-defined actions exist in the right side panel.įolders: you can create folders to group related actions or to run multiple actions with a single finger gesture.

Note: if you’re never tried BetterTouchTool, you can download a trail version here (affiliate link.) Redesigned User InterfaceīetterTouchTool 3.0 has been redesigned, but it’s not so radically changed that if you’re current user of the application you will feel lost.Īs a matter of fact, if you don’t like the redesign, you can navigate to the BTT icon in your Mac’s menu bar and open the Old Configuration which even contains newer actions that you create version 3.0. My BTT course covers all you need to know for getting the most out of the application. As an avid and long time user of BetterTouchTool, it’s great to see the recently released 3.0 version that includes not only a modern redesign, but several new features for managing finger gesture actions, searching actions, and a couple ways of viewing the user interface.
