Trackpad
You can do a lot on your MacBook Pro using simple trackpad gestures—scroll through
webpages, zoom in on documents, rotate photos, and more.
With the Force Touch trackpad, pressure-sensing capabilities add another level of interactivity.
The trackpad provides feedback—when you drag or rotate objects, you feel a subtle vibration
when they’re aligned, allowing you to work with greater precision.
Here are some common gestures:
Click: Press anywhere on the trackpad. Or enable “Tap to click” in Trackpad
preferences, and simply tap.
Force click: Click and then press deeper. You can use force click to look up
more information—click a word to see its definition, or an address to see
a preview that you can open in Maps.
Secondary click (right click): Click with two fingers to open shortcut
menus. If “Tap to click” is enabled, tap with two fingers.
Two-finger scroll: Slide two fingers up or down to scroll.
Pinch to zoom: Pinch your thumb and finger open or closed to zoom in or
out of photos and webpages.
Swipe to navigate: Swipe left or right with two fingers to flip through
webpages, documents, and more—like turning a page in a book.
Open Launchpad: Quickly open apps in Launchpad. Pinch closed with
four or five fingers, then click an app to open it.
Swipe between apps: To switch from one full-screen app to another,
swipe left or right with three or four fingers.
Customize your gestures. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences or click the System
Preferences icon in the Dock, then click Trackpad. In Trackpad preferences you can:
•
Learn more about each gesture
•
Set the pressure you prefer to use
•
Decide whether to use pressure-sensing features
•
Customize other trackpad features
Tip: If you find you’re force clicking when you don’t intend to, try adjusting the click pressure
to a firmer setting in Trackpad preferences. Or change the “Look up and data detectors” option
from the “Force Click with one finger” default setting to “Tap with three fingers.”
