Should Mac trackpad gestures do the same thing in every app?
by•
I was one of those people who actually used the Touch Bar 😅 When I switched Macs, I missed having volume and brightness right under my fingers, so I tried a few trackpad shortcut apps.
That got me thinking about which gestures I’d actually want to change from app to app. I’d want volume to work the same way everywhere. But I could see myself using the same swipe to switch tabs in my browser and skip a song in Music.
I’m curious whether that would feel natural after a few days or whether I’d keep mixing them up.
If you’ve set up gestures or shortcuts that change depending on the app, which ones actually stuck? Anything you ended up changing back?
