Configured Gestures Not Working

Configuration Help & General Discussion
1

I have really liked BTT. Just recently two very important gestures I had configured mostly do not work:
Click left upper corner = copy
Click right upper corner = paste

Things are really fluid when BTT is working, which has been most of the time.
Recently they rarely work. I don't know that I've changed any of the BTT settings.

I have a MacBook Pro M1. I generally download IOS updates. But I have not downloaded the latest (storage space). Could that be it?

Possibly check with BTT's live view whether you see anything weird. View => Show Live View

If you select "TP Single Finger Areas" you can see the area that allows corner clicks highlighted:

Thank you! That's helpful. I have a better view of what's going on. But what I see happening is that my single finger click has to be exactly symmetrically and equally in the corner before it realizes a copy on the left or a paste on the right. I don't remember it being like that in the past. Is there a way to make it respond to a broader range of clicks that are roughy in the corner?

You can enable this setting to make the areas larger, maybe you had that active in the past:

Thanks again. Those settings were already selected. What I find is that even though I change those settings and back, the area that is actually responsive is pretty small. However, when I try to see what works, it seems like I can train myself to tap more accurately. Now I'm wondering whether I'm using a different level of pressure than before. Because it seems a light click or tap works better than something stronger. Is that also available in settings?

there are also force clicks available (they require more pressure):

However if none such are configured, BTT will trigger the standard corner clicks with any sufficient pressure

Hmmm. Once again, thanks for your responses. Somehow I cannot find any place where it says "Please select a trigger."

that's just the default item when you add a new gesture

OK, thanks. I have to move on to other things. But I'll come back to this. The live view is very helpful to immediately see the impact of the different finger clicks I make. This is very helpful. And I understand that the triggering choices come up when you configure a new gesture. So I'll try to follow up. Thanks very much!

I think something is interfering with my BetterTouchTool. It had been working flawlessly for years. All of a sudden the gestures I had configured didn't work anymore, or didn't work reliably. I'm trying to work it out. But for example, I'm using an Apple external trackpad, which I really like. And I set the trigger for "copy" that is Command C as two finger swipe down from the top edge. And it comes out as "cut" i.e. Command X. Just now BetterTouchTool shut down of its own accord. Anyway, I'm truly befuddled.

Sounds very strange. Are you sure you are using an official build from https://folivora.ai ?
