These gestures are like shortcuts, only cooler. They allow you to call Exposè, the Action Center and get through other routines even faster.
Opening the "Notification Center"
Thanks to the widgets, the "Notification Center" contains a lot of useful information. And only one swipe separates you from it. Find out the time in a different time zone? See the weather? It couldn't be easier!
Launchpad Launch
There are many ways to open apps on macOS, but Launchpad is the most intuitive. We pinch our fingers, and there are neat rows of icons on the screen. It remains only to choose the one you need.
Show desktop
A useful gesture for those who store files on the desktop. When the screen is covered by windows of open applications, you can reach them simply by spreading your fingers.
Calling Mission Control
An indispensable feature for owners of a Mac with a small display diagonal. It shows you all open applications and virtual desktops and lets you switch between them. One movement, and everything is in front of you at a glance!
Calling Exposè
Lost in open browser or other application windows? Swipe down with three fingers and Exposè instantly previews the windows.
Switching between workspaces
When application windows do not fit on the desktop, you can create an additional one and place them there. And switching between workspaces and full-screen apps is easiest with a three-finger swipe gesture.
Navigation in apps
To navigate between pages in a browser or other programs, the traditional "Forward" and "Back" buttons are used, but it is much more convenient to use the swipe gesture with two fingers.
View definitions and quick previews
An equally convenient feature of macOS is viewing the definitions of unfamiliar words in installed dictionaries. Hover over, tap with three fingers, and a pop-up menu is in front of you. In the same way, you can view previews of files and documents in the Finder.
Content scaling
Just do the familiar pinch that zooms in photos or web pages as you view them. Yes, it works on macOS just like it does on the iPhone.
Rotating images in Preview
A very useful feature that allows you to instantly turn over incorrectly captured photos or pages in PDF documents. Much faster and easier than using hotkeys.
