Trackpad middle click

Map a 2–5 finger gesture to a global middle click (requires Accessibility + Input Monitoring).

Trackpad middle click

Taskbar can turn a trackpad gesture into a global “middle click” - useful for power workflows.

Middle click is widely supported by apps (for example: open links in a new tab, close tabs, open in background).

Gestures

Choose one for Global Trackpad Middle-Click:

  • 2/3/4/5-finger tap
  • 2/3/4/5-finger press

You can also tune:

  • max gesture duration (trackpad.middleClickMaxDurationMs, 90–260ms)
  • max finger movement (trackpad.middleClickMaxMoveDistance, 0.01–0.12)

3-Finger Swipe Window Switcher & Scroll Gestures

In addition to middle-click, Sulguni Taskbar v4.4.90 includes two dedicated gesture workflows:

  • 3-Finger Swipe Window Switcher (#/windowSwitcher): Swipe 3 fingers up on your trackpad to open the full-screen live Window Switcher overlay, swipe left/right to select a window with optional haptic feedback (trackpad.windowSwitcherHapticsEnabled), and swipe 3 fingers down to dismiss. While open, press 1–9 to jump to a window, M to minimize, or Q to close.
  • Scroll-Wheel Over Taskbar Apps (taskbar.scrollGestureMode): Scroll up or down directly over any taskbar app button to Cycle Windows (cycleWindows) or Open Live Previews (openPreviews), with adjustable scroll sensitivity (Low, Default, High) right from the taskbar context menu.

Permissions

This feature requires:

  • Accessibility
  • Input Monitoring

Input Monitoring is configured in:

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Input Monitoring

Notes

Trackpad gesture capture relies on the macOS MultiTouch stack. On some macOS versions/hardware it may behave differently.

If you get false triggers, tighten the thresholds:

  • lower max gesture duration
  • lower max finger movement
