How to set up the Trackpad with Force Touch

Force-touch-trackpad-tricks-hidden-functions-0

One of the novelties of the new laptops that Apple has simply called MacBook, is that they have a new trackpad with technology Force Touch. It is a new trackpad that will not only detect multi-touch gestures, but it will also be possible to combine these gestures with the pressure with which we perform them on the surface of it.

Now, if you are one of the users who has used each and every one of the gestures that can be performed on the trackpad since its inception, you will notice that when activating three-finger drag in System Preferences, in the Trackpad section, it has disappeared.

In order to configure the gestures that the trackpad of an Apple computer can detect we have to enter System Preferences and then in the Trackpad section. As soon as you enter you find a window in which three tabs are differentiated, one called  Point and click, another call Pan and Zoom and a third call More gestures. In the first tab of all, the last item is to activate or deactivate the drag with three fingers.

The fact is that it seems that in the new MacBook this option will not be present in the same place and that those from Cupertino have hidden it a little, which is not to say that it cannot be used. The new location for the three-finger drag setting can be found at System Preferences> Accessibility> Mouse & Trackpad.

We'll see if once the new type of Trackpad is on the market, the function returns to its previous place or not.
