Issues with "Start Smooth Space Switch" Using Mouse Continuous Drag Right/Left

Hi, been having a lot of fun configuring my setup. One gesture I get stuck unable to personalize is dragging mouse with button down to switch workspaces in a smooth manner with natural direction (swipe left → move to right space with drag left(continuous)). I think it’s one thing Linear Mouse has pulled off really well so I was wondering if something similar could be implemented on BTT. Linear Mouse is such a rigid app, though, that I cannot give up all the customization that BTT offers just for that single feature, I would lose the ability to customize my swipe up, down, and more gestures so I’d love a native solution within BTT of something similar. I know that smooth space switch is a relatively recent addition so I’m patiently waiting to see if it can be developed even further.

Lag issues?: I have been getting quite a bit of jitteriness with the smooth space switches and inconsistent handling of when I let go of the mouse button during the drag (sometimes the screen smoothly settles into the space, but other times it jumps to the next or back into the current space without any animation at all). I guess I’m looking for a more native style movement so this bugs me. I’ve been trying to smooth out these issues with the two variables I’ve seen available (progress per second and drag sensitivity) but to no avail. Also, I’ve played around with “Stop Smooth Space Switch” but have ultimately decided I can skip adding it to any action. Please let me know if that’s mistaken. So if these additions (natural swipe direction, smoother and more consistent handling of the animations, and maybe acceleration curve?) were to be added, I’d be really grateful.

which version of BTT are you currently running?

Version 6.341

I am facing similar issues. I cannot get smooth space switching to work with continuous drag gestures on my logitech mouse.

+1 for this. This is one of the few last remaining bits I’m waiting to mature so I can move fully from BetterMouse to BTT’s Logitech support. I use BTT for everything else, might as well put all my eggs here :slight_smile:

If this helps, on BetterMouse, I’ve set Right Click + ← / → / ↑ / ↓ to switch spaces left, right, Mission Control, and App Expose respectively. This works absolutely as smooth as it does on a Magic Trackpad.

On the other hand, BTT’s smooth scrolling seems to work much better for me than BetterMouse’s smooth scrolling. But unfortunately, I cannot mix and match these apps. The only mixing I’m doing so far is using some BM gestures to trigger a few named triggers saved as apps (as it doesn’t detect BTT’s hotkeys).

Will wait to see if this is further improved or if some setting/preset combo can make it work. Right now in BTT, button + scroll and regular move a space left/right seems to work much better than the smooth space shifting but it’s not as good as a trackpad.

Would somebody of you be able to record a quick video of how the space switch looks for you and what your space switch settings look like? It seems to be really smooth on my system, but I might be missing something.
