I code in Sublime text and run things in Terminal with IPython running. py file at once, but that is certainly possible with a few tweaks. Oh boy, oh boy! I waited my whole life for this! Not everyone wants to hear my gospel.įirst of all, I have to clarify that I work with data analysis, so I wanted to simulate the behavior of a Jupyter Notebook: I write a few lines of code, run it, see the result, write a bit more, run again that chunk. And first award wow thank you.Įdit2: found out it can also replace bartender so added it.

I'm new to MacOS (life-long Windows user) so been really fun finding ways to streamline my workflows.Įdit: typo. There are lots more feature which I haven't the time to get into.

For this price and the lengthy trial period, it's one of my most recommended app. The possibilities are quite-literally endless. Swipe left to split screen and tile left, same with right.

Force-click three finger and swipe up to go into fullscreen.

Four-finger tap to quickly go back to previous app (map to command+tab).

I mimic iPadOS' SlideOver feature using swipe right from left side of the trackpad and map it to a shortcut of Tuck (another great app highly recommended if you like to multitask).

I mimic iPadOS' copy-paste gesture with the 3-finger pinch in and out.

Double tap with four fingers to hide application (map with command+H)

Force-click with four fingers to quit application (map with command+Q).

Double tap with three fingers to bring up screenshot to OCR (using OwlOCR, free highly recommended alternative to TextSniper)

Force-click with three fingers to trigger bring up screenshot region.

You first have to map the shortcut 'Show Start Page' with a keyboard shortcut, then map the trackpad gesture to the keyboard shortcut.

I swipe down with two fingers from top of the trackpad to bring safari to start page.

I use three-finger swipes to navigate tabs by mapping ctrl+tab(+shift).

So you can do it like me which is double-click menu bar, set action to hide menu bar items to left, delay next action (I use 10s), then repeat the action to auto-hide it.įinally, these are how I use the gesture for my trackpad:

Replacement for Bartender: BTT has an action for hiding the menu bar item to its left and there's a convenient trigger by double-clicking the menu bar.

I also use keyboard shortcuts to launch specific folders in finder, apps, map to app-specific shortcuts, etc.

I have a Galaxy buds and Bluetooth Speaker so I can use keyboard shortcut to toggle between each device. Powerful keyboard shortcuts: one notable feature is connecting to a bluetooth device.You can also use keyboard shortcuts and link it to window snapping (e.g. Window-snapping: you can replace 'Magnets (paid)' or 'Rectangle (free)' with the BTT's built-in snap areas in which you can control which area of the screen will trigger a snapping.It replaced 'CopyLess 2' (which is amazing in its own right). It's quite customizable and feature-rich, and has everything I want in a clipboard manager. Clipboard manager: you can use keyboard shortcut (or any trigger) and choose the built-in BTT clipboard manager.First I'll talk about the use cases in addition to controlling the trackpad and mouse gestures because they're less known.
