Hello Team,

Is it possible to open the URL in 'Open in New Tab' (firefox) using double tab in Trackpad in Macbook using Bettertouchtool

Not with a single finger double tap (BTT doesn't support that gesture, probably to avoid conflict with native gestures), but you can with a two-finger double tap.

You will, however, need to disable 'tap to click' or 'secondary click' feature in your mac's trackpad preferences to avoid conflict.

Once that's done, setup a new action (specific to Chrome, if you want), select 2 Finger Double Tap for the trigger, then CMD+Click for the action.

Cmd+Click is essentially the shortcut for opening links in new tab, but I understand if you rather only use one hand for whatever reason.

I also wanted to do this, but found that if I disabled Secondary Click in Preferences for the Trackpad, that I can no longer get that functionality when I need it outside of apps. For instance, I can no longer use the double-tap gesture on icons in the Dock to be able to see the Secondary Menu for that icon.

Is there a way to disable the Secondary Click in Preferences but then regain that functionality via BTT using some kind of setting that would allow me to right-click on Dock'ed icons?

Thanks,
