MACBOOK JUNKIE’S TWO FINGERS SECONDARY TAP SETTING: ON

The Trackpad Two Fingers Secondary Tap setting allows you to perform a right-click action by simultaneously tapping two fingers on the trackpad. Unlike the One Finger Secondary Click, you are not required to press down on the trackpad.

I much prefer the Two Fingers Secondary Tap setting over One Finger Secondary Click simply because I don’t like the action of pressing down on my trackpad.

You can see Apple’s video example of Two Fingers Secondary Tap by hovering over the Two Fingers Secondary Tap option in your Trackpad Preferences Pane.

TO ENABLE TWO FINGERS SECONDARY TAP:

1. Open the Trackpad Preferences pane.

2. Click the Two Fingers Secondary Tap box so the checkmark appears.

TO DISABLE TWO FINGERS SECONDARY TAP:

1. Open the Trackpad Preferences pane.

2. Click the Two Fingers Secondary Tap box so the checkmark is removed.
