- Some improvements for M1 Macs (in case the update doesn't work automatically on these, please download a fresh copy from https://folivora.ai/)
- You can now make Caps Lock act as a 'Hyper Key' (a key that automatically presses all standard modifier keys for you). This allows you to define shortcuts like cmd+ctrl+opt+shift+A (which for sure won't interfere with anything) and still trigger them easily by only pressing Caps Lock + A.
To achieve this just record the Caps Lock key as a shortcut and assign the new 'Act as Hyper Key' action to it. - Capturing the special & media keys on a keyboard and assigning actions to them is possible again (e.g. Play, Next, Previous, Eject).
- The 'Open URL / Open URL with Selection' action now allows to select which Browser to use
- BTT can now be set as Default Browser. This allows you to run BTT actions based on the URL/App, and e.g. forward specific URLs to specific Browsers. (E.g. always open Microsoft Teams in Edge. It also allows to implement custom logic using scripts to determine how a URL shall be handled.
For more details see http://docs.folivora.ai/docs/1003_did_open_url.html. - Touch Bar buttons, script widgets and menubar items now support SF Symbol icons
- Added a 'Find Image on Screen & Move Mouse' action, which let's you search for some pixels on your screen and move the mouse cursor to the found position (if any). It's currently pretty basic but if you combine that with some click actions it can make it easier to automate things.
- The 'move mouse to position' action can now move relative to the corners of the main-screen or mouse-screen.
- The || operator used in the 'trigger menubar menu item' action will now also cycle between items if one of them is disabled.
- Many little bugfixes.
I just implemented the old multitouch gestures from 10.6 because fuck Lion/Mountain Lion's gestures. 3 finger tap - middle click 4 fingers down - Mission Control 4 fingers up - Desktop 4 fingers left/right - swap Spaces 4 finger tap - close window (cmd w) 5 finger tap - new tab (cmd t). Global Touch Bar gestures should behave better. Added a optional helper tool to slightly increase the BTT process priority which might help if you encounter stuttery scrolling or similar. This can be activated in the advanced general settings. BetterTouchTool helps you completely customize and configure how you enter information into your Mac. Think keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, Touch Bar widgets, remote triggers, and more. The checkboxes at the bottom toggle window snapping and Touch Bar controls. Create new custom gestures. To make commands of your own, first select the type of input you’re using from the menu at the top of the screen. Click Add New Gesture at the bottom of the screen. Then, use the drop-down menus to choose your preferred gesture type and action.
There are certain utilities that make you wonder after you’ve first used them that how you could have lived without them for so long. In past entries we have discussed a few of them, like Clip Menu or DeskConnect for example.
This time we take a look at another one of these indispensable tools if you are a Mac user and you have either a Magic Mouse or a Macbook with a modern trackpad. The name of this little utility is Better Touch Tools and it is available for free.
Don’t be fooled by the free tag. In fact, Better Touch Tools is one of the most useful and convenient utilities you can find for your Mac.
Cue tools for mac. Let’s take a look at what it is all about.
Android download app for mac. Interestingly enough, Better Touch Tools (BTT from now onwards) is an app that really lives up to its name: In a nutshell, the app allows you to create your own custom gestures to use on your Mac with devices that support them, like the Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad or any of the glass trackpads that you can find on modern Macs.
If you have any of these, the value of BTT becomes apparent immediately. Apple tends not to include additional features on their OS’ unless they work perfectly (Wi-Fi sync for example), but sometimes that leaves a lot to be desired. BTT solves that by providing your Mac’s pointing device with much more flexibility.
Note: BTT also works for keyboard shortcuts and with any standard USB mouse, although its actions are optimized for the devices mentioned above.When using the app, you can choose whether to create a gesture to assign to the entire OS or just to a particular app, which is really convenient.
As expected, there are wide gamut of predefined actions you can assign to gestures, but the real meat of BTT resides in being able to assign your own shortcuts or commands to your custom ones.
For example, in my case I use Safari a lot and if I want to switch tabs, I have to use the keyboard or click directly on the tab I want. So I decided to create a gesture on my Magic Mouse that allowed me to switch tabs on Safari just by swiping on my Magic Mouse to one side or the other.
Creating your own gestures is fairly easy. First, choose the app for which you want a new gesture on the left panel of BTT and then select from the available gestures. In this case, I chose single finger swipes to the right and left of the mouse to trigger the action I wanted (switch tabs back and forth respectively).
Note: BTT will oftentimes ask you for permission to control your Mac using accessibility features. This is entirely normal.Synchronize app for mac. Next, you could choose from among the predefined actions, but for this gesture I used the keyboard shortcuts for the actions.
Once done, you can start using your newly-created gestures right away.
Overall, I found that the gestures I created using Better Touch Tools worked almost perfectly with a few exceptions here and there when creating complex ones (especially on the trackpad) or when assigning actions to very simple/common gestures.
The flexibility that this utility provides easily makes up for its shortcomings.
