MACBOOK JUNKIE’S TWO FINGERS PINCH OPEN & CLOSE SETTING: ON

The Trackpad Two Fingers Pinch Open & Close setting allows you to zoom in and out on photos and web pages. Once enabled, you can pinch two fingers together on the trackpad to zoom out and spread your two fingers apart to zoom in – exactly like you do on the iPhone.

My favorite use for this feature is when I am on a website that uses tiny fonts. I just pinch open to blow it up and then I can read without straining my eyes.

You can see Apple’s video example of Two Fingers Pinch Open & Close by hovering over the Two Fingers Pinch Open & Close option in your Trackpad Preferences Pane.

1. Open the Trackpad Preferences pane.

TO DISABLE TWO FINGERS PINCH OPEN & CLOSE:

1. Open the Trackpad Preferences pane.
