Three-Finger Drag
Three ways to drag:
- Click and drag: Hold down click, then move finger
- Three-finger drag: Enable in System Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options. Lets you drag windows and select text by moving 3 fingers. Highly recommended.
- Tap to click + drag: Tap and hold briefly, then drag
Recommended: Enable Three-Finger Drag
This is a hidden gem most people don't know about:
- Open System Settings
- Go to Accessibility > Pointer Control
- Click Trackpad Options
- Turn on Use trackpad for dragging and select Three Finger Drag
Now you can drag windows, select text, and move files by sliding 3 fingers. It's much more natural than holding down a click.
Note: Enabling three-finger drag changes Mission Control and Spaces gestures to require 4 fingers instead of 3.
