- Download the latest
Touch-Tab.zipfrom Releases page. - Unzip the archive and move
Touch-Tab.appinto theApplicationsfolder. - The app is ad-hoc signed so when you run the app macOS will warn you:
"Touch-Tab" can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. Right-click the app and clickOpen, a pop-up will appear, clickOpenagain. - The app needs access to global trackpad events. Allow Touch-Tab to control your computer in
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accesibility. If you had Touch-Tab installed before you may need to remove Touch-Tab from theAccessibilitylist first and add it again. - Disable 3-finger swipe between full-screen apps or make it 4-finger in
System Settings > Trackpad > More Gestures > Swipe between full-screen apps.
- Use 3-fingers swipe right or 3-fingers swipe left to switch between apps.
- Hold after the swipe or swipe slowly to show App Switcher UI. Pro tip: you can use 2-fingers scroll to switch apps in App Switcher faster.
Holding ⌘ drag the item away from the status bar until you see ✖️ (cross icon) then let it go. To recover the item just open the app one more time.
Right-click the app and click Open, a pop-up will appear, click Open again.
- Check that Touch-Tab is allowed to control your computer in
System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accesibility. If you had Touch-Tab installed before you may need to remove Touch-Tab from theAccessibilitylist first and add it again. - Check that 3-finger swipe is disabled in
System Settings > Trackpad > More Gestures > Swipe between full-screen apps.
It's a known issue. The workaround is to setup Mission Control or App Expose to use 3-finger swipe in System Settings > Trackpad > More Gestures.
