Dock icon gestures (NOT touchbar)

Discussion & Questions
1

Hi,

In an app called HyperDock they have a helpful gesture where you can show/hide that app's windows by scrolling up or down on the dock icon with a mouse or 2 finger gesture on trackpad. Unfortunately the app silently crashes within minutes on 10.15.2 and it's hindering my workflow.

Is there an equivalent option in BetterTouchTool?

Thanks!

Scroll down on app icon to hide:

  • Trigger: Normal Mouse
  • Group & Top Level Triggers: Scroll Down (Normal Mouse Configuration: Advanced → Trigger Conditions: Trigger while mouse over Dock)
  • Actions Assigned to Selected Trigger: Activated Currently Hovered App in Dock → Keyboard Shortcut: CMD + H

Scroll up on app icon to show:

  • Trigger: Normal Mouse
  • Group & Top Level Triggers: Scroll Up (Normal Mouse Configuration: Advanced → Trigger Conditions: Trigger while mouse over Dock)
  • Actions Assigned to Selected Trigger: Activated Currently Hovered App in Dock → Left Click

Note: CMD + H doesn't hide floating window types. Photoshop already has CMD + H registered to another shortcut so you will need to specify Photoshop specific binding of CTRL + CMD + H.

It would be nice if the author of BetterTouchTool can investigate HyperDock and see how their hide/show options functions because it works on all types of windows and no matter what shortcut is already assigned. Or hell, even a simple "Show / Hide Currently Hovered App in Dock" to work frictionlessly like HyperDock.
