Basically, I'm looking to map a keyboard shortcut to a 3-finger swipe right and another to a 3-finger swipe left (not just switch spaces, I need the swipe itself, like I'm actually doing it on a trackpad for something I'm building haha).
I couldn't find that action in BTT, soI just wanted to make sure here, is it actually impossible?
Any reply would be appreciated!
Can you describe what you’re using it for? Do you just need a discrete swipe or do you want a fluid swipe while holding the keyboard shortcut?
It currently is not exposed in the UI but it can be done
I want to press a keyboard shortcut which would trigger a very quick 3 finger swipe, just like if I were swiping really fast on a trackpad. Doesn't have to be anything super fluid or move like a finger would haha
what is your trackpad configured to do when swiping with three fingers?
Well, it's mapped to the default "Move a space right/left", but when mapping those shortcuts to the buttons on my MX Master 3S (using either the ctrl+left/right shortcut or the BTT action) I've noticed that it sometimes gets a little delayed when trying to swipe between spaces back and fourth quickly on my mac, but a 3 finger swipe on the trackpad always works perfectly. So I'm looking to make a custom setup: map the buttons in my MX Maseter 3S to a keyboard shortcut which will emulate the 3 finger swipe in BTT, not the default macOS "Move a space right/left" action.
Does that make sense?
Ah, in that case use the new "Move Left / Righ tA Space (Without Animation)" action. These do it without any delay. However they require the current alpha versions of BTT
Alright I'll try that too, but I'm just curious is there any way to emulate the swipe? I kinda want it to have the animation ngl
that action performs the swipe, but if you'd want an animation it would need to emulate multiple "steps" which it currently does not.
