Expand the standard set of Multi-Touch gestures on Mac devices and integrate a new Preferences pane. Access the additional content and incorporate it into tasks and processes to optimize the frequency, diversity, and stability of such actions as tab switching.
jitouch is intended to expand the set of mouse gestures. This way, it can make it easier to perform common tasks, such as switching tabs, resizing windows, saving files and closing windows. The app is not accessible from Finder. Instead, it adds a new pane to System Preferences. The tool is very easy to use, but, if you have any questions, it is a good idea to watch the online videos that teach you how to use each gesture.
The app’s pane has various tabs. Luckily, there are separate tabs for configuring different features, like Trackpad, Magic Mouse and Characters. In this regard, there are 9 default Trackpad gestures, but you can toggle them on and off as you please. Besides, you can add many more as up to 31 are supported. Magic Mouse, in turn, comes with 8 default gestures with the possibility to have up to 19.
I confess I have a hard time remembering all those gestures, so my favorite feature is Characters. It works by drawing a given character on the trackpad or with the Magic Mouse, which is then recognized by the app and triggers a specific action. Fortunately, you can receive immediate feedback of whatever you are drawing. This way, you use easy-to-remember associations between characters and actions. For example, drawing an N opens a new document and an S saves it. more
