I have reverted to the Magic Trackpad 1 but it would be nice if BTT could work in COOT/XQuartz with the Magic Track pad 2 as that allows for more gesture control in other apps.Run each command again and reboot the Mac to regain multitouch capabilities.Īpart from that, if you happen to have turned on or off other settings for Magic Mouse in the mouse preferences panel, don’t forget to go back to the Apple menu> System Preferences> Mouse section of your settings and adjust them again too.Īnother option is to use a third-party app like BetterTouchTool or MagicPrefs, which allows you to disable and enable specific gestures and Magic Mouse capabilities from a small control panel like a Mac app. I have also installed a local version of COOT and again the Magic Trackpad 2 does not "middle click" in the XQuartz window yet the Magic Trackpad 1 is working perfectly. I then tried adding other keys to the gesture to hopefully make it unique and got the same result. With the Magic Track pad 2, it works in terminal and safari but does not work in the COOT/XQuartz window. With the Magic Track Pad 1, it works in terminal and safari and in COOT/XQuartz.
#Magicprefs stop working plus#
I checked that Tap to click and Look up & data detectors are off in System Prefs and then I set BTT to 2 finger click plus shift key for middle click. After reading your post I have just tried modifying the settings again to use something other than three finger click just to be sure. So this does seem to be a specific problem with the Magic trackpad 2. Three finger click as middle click worked in all apps. I then disconnected the trackpad 2 and reconnected the track pad 1. I had made the setting in Global but to be sure I made a specific setting for XQuartz and got the same issue.
#Magicprefs stop working software#
It works in the other software but not in the COOT/XQuartz window. I tried several different gestures including using keys in addition to a gesture and got the same effect. However, in the COOT/XQuartz window, middle click does not work. So for example, I can cut and paste text in Terminal.app by selecting text and middle clicking, with the text being pasted at the cursor as expected and in Safari, middle clicking on a link opens in a new tab. Having installed the latest BTT and checked my settings were still correct (i.e use three finger click to replicate middle click), I discovered that this functions correctly in local Mac apps, it does not work in COOT via the XQuartz window. I got a new Magic trackpad 2 this week and discovered that MagicPrefs did not support this model and so I bought a new licence for BTT which had worked well in the past. I have used BTT and Magicprefs to replicate middle click for this purpose on a Magic trackpad 1 successfully for several years. I need middle click on my input device to centre the view on a particular atom. I ssh -XY into the server to use the software with X forwarding and so the COOT gui runs in an XQuartz window. I use a piece of scientific software (COOT) which runs on our servers it displays 3D atomic co-ordinates of protein molecules. I don't think I explained the issue too well in my previous post so: I have also tried various other gestures to act as middle click without success in XQuartz and a Magic trackpad2. I have tap to click and Look up & data detectors tap with three fingers disabled in System Prefs. Thanks for the info, unfortunately it does not help my issue.
