Three finger swipes selects underlying content

[pazimzadeh]

When I use three finger left or right swipes, the content in the window is selected and dragged, if draggable.

For example, text on a website is selected, or files in finder are selected. I have accidentally moved things around this way.

Ideally, the mouse would not move at all while the three gestures are enabled (similar to BTT).

Otherwise works great.

Sorry for the delayed response, and thanks for reporting. This is sort of an unfortunate side effect of how Multitouch works, where it lets gesture data pass through to the rest of the OS (an obvious difference with BTT).

Right now, the only setup I'm aware of where scrolling doesn't happen is if you have the built-in macOS gestures for swipe between full-screen applications set to three fingers, and Mission Control / App Exposé not set to three fingers. And then you're only left with three finger swipe up and down as something you could configure in Multitouch without scrolling.

At the moment, I don't have a good way to change Multitouch to fix this, but will take another look into it.

Personally, I've always liked the built-in three finger swipe gestures in macOS, and for my configurations I use "rest 3/4/5, remove all but one" gestures in Multitouch.
