Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is. Any bug reports that contain insults against me or my software will be deleted without warning (unfortunately this has become necessary to mention here).

Upon booting for the first time in MacOS 15.1 Beta, I've noticed my shortcuts for 2-finger force touch (which I've historically assigned globally to middle click) do not work anymore. I use this shortcut many times a day to close tabs and or open links in new tabs, so this is a massive bummer.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

Macbook Trackpad (MBP16 w/ M1 Pro)

I will probably upgrade to the 15.1 beta once the 15.0 golden master has been released, however that might still take a while. 15.1 is currently in an too early state to try fixing things.

Do other BTT gestures work for you?

Yes - the rest work fine! Just the double force click unfortunately ::

I feel you on the 15.1, I was excited for iPhone mirroring and Apple AI.

could you check whether the force click shows up in the recently used section in BTT? (maybe it's triggering but the middle click is not working?)

Appears that middle click shows up, indicating middle click not working...?

Andreas_Hegenberg · August 9, 2024, 7:42am

maybe try sending cmd+click instead for now, that usually achieves the same as middle click

Weirdly, no dice. Get the same sensation in the trackpad. The trackpad sort of spazzes out when the 2-finger force click happens.

Andreas_Hegenberg · August 9, 2024, 11:19am

the sensation might be fixed in the latest alpha, however that should not effect the behavior when triggered

barronlroth · August 9, 2024, 7:20pm

I see - looking forward to seeing if you can replicate when you upgrade to 15.1!

Same for me, but I'm still on Sonoma 14.6.1 (and latest BTT) (2019 MBP15).

It's only the 2 finger force touch, 1 and 3-5 do work. No idea since when though, I don't use this gesture.
