Summary

Fluid Trackpad Edge Swipes to adjust volume, display & keyboard brightness

Description and setup

I have recently gotten a few mails on how to set this up in BTT, so here is an example preset. Sliding up/down the left edge adjusts display brightness, right edge does volume and bottom edge keyboard brightness.

I'd recommend to use it with BTT 6.997 because I have improved palm rejection for edge swipes a lot with that version.

Version

1.0.0

Tested with BetterTouchTool version

6.998

Is it better than this?

3

yes - the continuous gestures are more fluid and don't rely on the simulated brightness/volume keys

4

will there be for top edge too?

5

that is already available, can be configured the same way (all of these have been available for quite a while, this is just an example preset)

cursor moves too along with these gestures, also haptics feels weird and continously pulsating
