What are the usable ways to implement a right mouse button click & drag on a trackpad?
I find the native method of a 2 ginger click and drag, clunky, easy to do wrong and it hurts my hands with repetitive work.
I'm using Reaper - a digital audio workstation app that uses right drag quite extensively.
3 finger drag to simulate a right mouse button drag would be ideal, but I'm not sure that's doable. The native option in Accessibility only allows dragging of windows afaik.
A tip tap to initiate a right button down then a single tap to release would be good too, but I can't get this working at all.
It is not clear what you are trying to achieve. MacOS already has three finger drag. System settings -> accessibility -> pointer control -> trackpad options. Enable 'use trackpad for dragging' and then switch the 'drag style' to 'three-finger control'
Yeah the 3 finger drag is just for left click dragging. It doesn't simulate a right mouse button click and drag - which is what I'm trying to do.
A 2-finger click and drag is the native option for a right-drag, but for repetitive work, particularly where one would have to drag out further than the trackpad area allows, it becomes quite uncomfortable.
Iwas trying to do an area tap (e.g. BTT - top right corner tap) to toggle a right mouse click i.e. right mouse button DOWN, not UP. Then when I press it again, it would toggle it back i.e.right mouse button UP not DOWN.
