Trackpad gestures

1 min read

Two fingers on the trackpad take you to all your tabs and from one to the next. Everything else two fingers do stays as it was: scrolling a page, and swiping back and forward.

See all your tabs

Pinch two fingers together on a page. The Room, with every page and Desk in the Space, comes in as your fingers move, and the trackpad taps once at the halfway point. Let go past it and you're in the Room; let go before it and the page stays.

In the Room, pinch apart with the pointer on a page to open it, or anywhere else to go back to the page you came from. ⌘↑ does the same from the keyboard.

NoteA page you've zoomed into with two fingers zooms back out first. Pinching together only goes to the Room once the page is back at its own size.

Go from tab to tab

Put two fingers on the bar at the bottom of the window and swipe left for the next tab, or right for the one before. A short swipe moves one tab, and the trackpad taps for each. Swiping up on the bar shows the list of tabs.

This works only on the bar, so swiping on a page still scrolls it and goes back and forward. While you type in the bar, swiping moves through what you typed.
