I have successfully linked 4-finger swipes to various triggers (specifically App Switcher, Cmd+tab key combo). 4-finger swipes are always recognized fine. However, at least half the time they are simultaneously seen by the system as 2-finger swipes, causing scrolls at the same time as the BTT action. This makes it hard to use really. Is this a bug and/or can anything be done about it?
On a lark I tried ticking the option buried in settings → trackpad → swipes to prevent 4-finger swipes from causing 3-finger swipes at the same time. Didn't help. I also tried changing 4-finger swipe sensitivty = 2-finger swipe sensitivity. Also didn't help. (I have not yet tried ticking "aggressive mode", whatever that is.)
BTT will by default try to block the scrolling, however it currently can only do that while your fingers are touching the trackpad. This means the "momentum scroll" can still happen if you lift your fingers right after the swipe.
Ah okay that makes sense. Okay, now that I know the principle behind the limitation I at least know how to avoid the scrolls--more of a swipe & hold gesture than a swipe.
Would be nice it if is possible in future versions to tell macOS to not apply inertia for the gesture at all--maybe as an option the user can tick for the action. (Especially because I can't imagine why inertia should apply for any trackpad gesture other than scrolling.)
for macOS this is a scrolling gesture, that's why it applies the momentum. However I'll check whether I can add some more logic to block that momentum scroll.
