In this tip video, Lee uses a productivity utility on macOS to make navigating tabs in Safari a lot quicker and easier. BetterTouchTool is available through the Setapp subscription and allows you to assign shortcuts to a variety of gestures that you can activate through your Trackpad, Magic Mouse, Keyboard and more. Some of Lee's most used gestures are covered in this short video

One of the joys of having a Mac is having access to tools that allow you to automate common tasks which increase your productivity. BetterTouchTool is a unique twist on automating your Mac as it does so using various input devices that are connected to your Mac such as the Magic Trackpad, Mouse, Keyboard, and even your iOS device. Each of these devices can be set up using BetterTouchTool to run automations with the click of a mouse, taps on a trackpad or even by drawing gestures on your trackpad.

In this screencast we will walk through how to set these automations up on various devices. We will also show practical ways to set up your automations based on global settings or even on an app by app basis. So if you have ever wanted to run automations with minimal effort, then BetterTouchTool may be for you.

Gestures on the Magic TrackPad are all well and good, but they are a bit limited.

In this episode, I take a look at creating custom gestures using BetterTouchTool (BTT).

You're only limited by your imagination as BTT includes support for a wide range of actions as well as custom keyboard shortcuts.

As well as the Magic TrackPad, you can also use it on your Magic Mouse, MacBook TrackPad or even the Leap Motion Controller.

I also include a short video snippet of the leap Motion Controller in action, being controlled by BetterTouchTool gestures.
