#Install gitx on mac using homebrew pro#

There are a dozen applications that extend Macs touchpag gesture support though. It turns out that there is no built in support for this. So opening links in a new tab was forcing me to shift position, and that would not do.īut I have a multi-touch pad, no? I should be able to bind for example a three finger click to middle mouse without any problems, right? Wrong. Usually when I just read, I have my right paw on the mouse/pad and my left under my chin (or behind my head when I’m in bed for example). But I hated command clicking on links because it forced me to put my left hand on the keyboard. Mac’s pad is much more sensitive and much bigger and thus comfortable. I actually recently used a Dell laptop with a multi-touch pad and it was not even in the same league. I absolutely love the multi-touch pad on my Macbook. You don’t even need to take your fingers off the home row.Īnother thing that pained me was lack of middle click. In fact, it is probably easier to reach than F5. Yeah, I know – it’s kinda strange, but in a way it makes sense. It turns out that the universal Refresh button on Macs is not F5 but rather a combination of: I was however a bit taken aback when I tried to refresh a page an it would not work. I knew about the single mouse button, and command/control clicks, so that did not surprise me.

One of the first things I noticed about my Mac was that F5 did not refresh any pages. If you own a Mac you probably already know all of these, but maybe this will help to jump start a discussion about nifty tricks, and cool apps to download.

I figured I will share a few of the tricks I have learned so far.
