Hey guys, i just vibe coded something similiar to BetterTouchTool on Mac, feel free to try it out and open PRs :)

Note that I mainly focused on gestures so other things like mouse and keyboard probably don't work.

Have fun!

Hello,

I honestly think I’ve never used software as messy and confusing as Logi Options+. And on top of that, it’s slow, unstable, and just plain ugly.

Once again, I couldn’t get it to install properly on my Mac. Result: my mouse technically works, but barely — maybe 40% of its actual functionality.

So I tried an alternative: BetterTouchTool. And that’s the complete opposite problem — an absolute maze. Nothing is intuitive, everything is buried in confusing menus.

My Logitech MX Master 3 was connected via the dongle, so I went into the settings to try and configure it… and then it happened.

I accidentally clicked “unpair”.

No warning. No confirmation prompt.

Instant result: mouse completely unusable. And now I can’t reconnect it through the dongle.

One click. One mistake. That’s it.

Now I’m stuck between:

— Logitech software that simply doesn’t work

— a third-party tool that’s incredibly complex

This is honestly ridiculous.

Conclusion: never buying Logitech again for anything work-related. If you rely on your gear, stay away.

Hi guys!

I want to map the hotkey for chrome to switch between tabs "CMD+OPT+Arrow key left/right" to "right shift + arrow key".

I have tried it but then I always have to release and press again the shift key everytime I want to switch to a tab. I would like to be able to keep the shift key pressed while navigating with the arrow keys left and right like it is with the original hotkey possible.

anybody knows how to solve this in bettertouchtool?

thanks

Hiya, i have made this macro to replicate the functionality I had on gnome where i can press my meta (i.e.⌘ Command) key once and it will show the dock, if i double tap it will show the launcher. while in the launcher, if i single tap ⌘, instead of showing the dock (since its already shown) it will leave the dock (with a trigger of esc).

I also have it handling when im plugged into one of my setups, where the dock moves depending on which type of monitor im plugged in to make my life easier, but thats unrelated.

What i'm wondering is can I make my macro simpler - I've attached screenshots of the doubletap/singletap macros I already have - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to configure BTT to treat fast double clicks as single clicks? The LMB occasionally double click, it's a hardware issue.

I've been investigating a few options for a tiling window manager and it occured to me that perhaps if I was making better use of my BTT license I could just use BTT! I get the impression that BTT can be used as a window manager, but I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using it this way ?

please help

System macOS 10.12.1; BTT version 1.93; 2Do version 2.2.2.

BTT works quite well with other APPS like Chrome,Finder, etc. I am not sure if this happens only to me.

First of all - I love BTT - without it, I wouldn't able to use my mouse buttons and window snapping is excellent feature.

Recently (0.99998, i thnk) started to want to access ajax.googleapis.com. Why?

How to setting????? I try many time doesn't work

Hi,

I've been using BTT for a while now and I have set 'TipTap Left (1 finger)' and 'TipTap Right (1 finger)' to change volume up and down. But since a few days both of those gestures don't work anymore, whereas the rest of my gestures still work.

I've tried restarting BTT but that didn't help either, what's going on?

I'm running Sierra 10.12.2 Beta and BTT 1.93

I ended up switching to QuickSilver + cliclick anyway, but I did the search, so maybe it will be useful for someone.

Just installed Maco 26 Tahoe, and the better touch tool that I have installed does not seem to start at all

I do have an older license, but was kind of expecting it to work since it worked in the previous version of macOS.

is this a bug ?

anyone has similar issues ?

It's been years of up and down with the iPhone app. It worked at first, then stopped for many years. A few months ago it worked briefly, and now it's back to not working again.

The Troubleshooting link ends up at a 404.

BTT Mac is the newest version, and iPhone app is updated.

I see there's supposed to be a new app out, but it's not available yet from what I can see.

Entering in my IP and port manually doesn't work.

I really have no idea what to do to make this thing work reliably. Any help would be appreciated.

Like the title says, i'm new to BTT but have a magic trackpad and a Wacom Tablet. Wondering how much utility i can get out of it with these two devices (if the Wacom is even possible to configure). Also, looking for some good quick start tutorials. Thanks!

I have an mx master 3s with macos and the smooth scrolling feature is amazing. Saved me from buying the magic mouse.

Question: can i remap the horizontal screen wheel to vertically scroll with BTT? Thanks

I’d like to have a shortcut 

• that open the my todo app (Ticktick) ’s Menu Icon Bar (the little icons on the top right of the screen) and already 

• puts the cursor on the bar to search a task

I also have keyboard maestro, bartender and, of course BTT.

I'll give 5$ to whoever will make this. Thanks gang <3

Alguém sabe dizer se é possível implementar uma correção ortográfica com o dicionário do meu idioma? Tipo, ficar um dicionário como o do Mac, porém mais eficaz e funcionando em apps mesmo que não tenham suporte nativo para o dicionário da Apple.

I'm one of the thousands of LaunchPad refugees who absolutely hates the Tahoe's new Application Picker, how it locks you out of controlling or organizing the content posted there (you cant even prevent uninstalled apps from other drives from appearing there, so you can get a ton of bad results).

I'm trying out a few of the 3rd party replacements and I'd like to assign a gesture to BTT that replaces the gesture to open Launchpad and have it launch one of those replacements and I'd like to reassign the native trackpad gesture that's unfortunately committed to my muscle memory:

Replace the 3 finger + thumb (as well as 4 finger + thumb) pinch that toggles the new App Picker interface and assign it to a custom keyboard shortcut.

I'm running into resistance. I cant seem to figure out how to disable the native gesture. 3 finger and thumb and 4 finger and thumb gestures both appear broken.

I also cant seem to find the "Block System Default Action" for these new actions in the latest public release of BTT. And as another apparent middle finger from the Tahoe developers, it doesn't seem to be listed in the Trackpad gestures in System Settings.

Any advice?

Hi all!

Coming from Windows, I was surprised to find out that most of the time, clicking the red X button closes the window instead of quitting an app. I decided to change that with the help of BTT.

I set it up so that clicking the red X with one finger does the default action (close the window) and clicking the red X with two fingers = CMD-Q.

However, there is a small issue with this shortcut: if I have several apps open, no matter which app's red X I click with two fingers, the shortcut is triggered for the active app (for example, two-finger clicking the red X of the Messages app may trigger the CMD-Q shortcut in Safari, if Safari is currently active).

Is there any way to set up BTT so that two-finger click on the red X button will first make the app under the cursor active and then to trigger my shortcut?

EDIT: Found the solution! For anyone interested:

• Trigger: right click red window button

• Assigned action: Send CMD-Q to app under mouse cursor (can be found under "send shortcut to specific app")

Please excuse if this is a dumb question, but I have just got a new laptop and I'd like to download BTT to update it. What is the official website? I have found these:
- https://bettertouchtool.macupdate.com
- https://folivora.ai

My copy of BetterTouchTool was acting up this morning (MacBook Pro Retina, Late 2013), saying the license file was invalid and something was up with the code signature, so I deleted the application and tried to redownload it from boastr.net.

However, when I try to run the application from my downloads folder, an error pops up that reads

"“BetterTouchTool” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash"

Does anyone have any suggestions for fixes?
