Remember, three-finger window dragging has changed places in OS X El Capitan

drag-windows-disappear

One of the star features that came with OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Yosemite was the option to use three wishes on the trackpad to be able to drag the windows. To do this, we simply place the cursor on the upper part of the window and with a drag of three fingers we were able to move them without needing to make a physical press on the trackpad in one hand and then move it with the other.

That option was the road from its arrival in the Trackpad section within System references. Now, with the arrival of the new 12-inch MacBook and its trackpad with ForceTouch technology, this action was relegated to the background by being able to do the same through the technology of pressure on the surface of the trackpad. 

However, those who want to continue doing that even if they have a MacBook with a ForceTouch trackpad in addition to all the users who do not have it but we have updated to OS X El Capitan, we will have to Navigate a little more in the system menus to find this option. 

With this we want to tell you that even if you have a computer with a trackpad without ForceTouch but you have updated to OS X El Capitan, you will see how the drag option with three fingers would have disappeared from the place where it was before System Preferences> Trackpad.

Now we have to go to the following location:

new-location-drag-windows

System Preferences> Accessibility> Mouse & Trackpad> Trackpad Options

As you can see in the image, a small window will appear where you can select the option that was previously in the Trackpad management panel.

    Thanks for that info, I had installed in another participation, but leaving the active Yosemite scrutinize and I realized that this option had disappeared and really means to erase "El Capitan" just because that option disappeared THANKS GUYS
