On: New Mac Setup

> Accessibility/Trackpad Options, and “Enable dragging”

Holy crap, it's in accessibility! How I cursed apple when I could not find it after upgrading. But now I already accustomed to "3-finger drag".

I'm confused what the option actually does. Isn't it the default behavior that if you click on anything and drag it, you drag it?

This isn't a "click", it's a double "touch-pad tap (no depress of the button)"

I've gotten so used to tap interaction, as opposed to "clicking", that I could easily work with a Mac now that had no "click".

I don't use the double-tap interaction (interferes with some games, and sometimes you get a deselect if you've multi-selected things on the screen) - but the three finger drag is wonderful.

[Edit: One exception - on bootup, before the OS is running, it won't recognize tap commands, and you have to click]

I find Ctrl to be a far better modifier key for window movement actions. BetterSnapTool FTW
