Is there anyway to add BTT configuration to the BTT dock app icon?

I would like to have the ability to open the configuration page for BTT via its dock icon, is this possible?

Thanks in advance

What is opening for you?

if there isn't a configuration window open, nothing.

Can you provide screenshot of the "configuration window" to make sure we are talking about the same thing? I'm referencing this window, which is always opened whenever I click BTT dock icon:

maybe you have imported a preset that disables this functionality.

Try running this terminal command while BTT is quit:

defaults write com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool BTTDontShowPrefsOnReopen NO

didn't work unfortunately


If i red x this window clicking the dock icon will not open a new configuration page. have to open one from the menu bar.

Are you sure that the command was successful? Can you provide the output of the following command defaults read com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool | grep -i dont ?

@MacBookPro ~ % defaults read com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool | grep -i dont ?
zsh: no matches found: ?

are you maybe using the setapp version of BTT?
In that case the command would be

defaults write com.hegenberg.bettertouchtool-setapp BTTDontShowPrefsOnReopen NO

(again, execute while BTT is quit)

The command should be without the question mark at the end, only:

defaults read com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool | grep -i dont

OR like Andreas mentioned in case of setapp version:

defaults read com.hegenberg.bettertouchtool-setapp | grep -i dont

i am not using settapp
