3 finger gestures in Lion

I think that you have to fiddle with the number of fingers for a gesture in the System Preferences> Track Pad window, as there is a small carret or pull down menu next to each gesture, where the user can change the number of fingers used in a gesture. Four finger scrolling back and forth in full window open apps was working, so I changed it to three fingers and the scrolling worked. I think, and again I am still experimenting, that some gestures with the same number of fingers conflict with each other. It might be possible to change the up down movement with the appropriate pull down menu on the Track Pad guide in System Preferences.

I'd like to give Lion the 'middle' finger gesture....😠

May if you change the three fingers right and left gesture it change the three fingers up and down,i experiment before and i find something too so i back again to defaults..😉

I also miss this gesture. I even have jitouch (trackpad gesture enhancer) which also supported the three-swipe-up and down, for scroll to top/bottom. I downloaded an update for jitouch today that was for the Lion, but still it do not work. I love this feature when browsing large webpages like newspapers. This happens all the time all day every day.

This gesture needs to come back.

if any one works out the three finger swipe up or down to get to the top and bottom of the page can you please let us now. thats one feature that i really miss with this lion update

I hve no such menu, and I do have a system approved to be upgradable.

No Swipe Menu at all - no swipe function at all

I have Lion installed. I miss the 3 finger gesture for up and down. I have installed this program BetterTouchTool and I have configured the global option with 3 finger swipe up and down, and mapped cmd+arrow up/down. It works perfectly. I am going to keep this program as long as the option is missing in Lion.

I really miss this feature as well. I will try the above mentioned program but I have to say that I don't really like when OS changes its behavior radically without the option to have it the old way. I thought that this was something that MS had patent on...

If you hold down the option key, you can three finger swipe left and right.

I was just fiddling with this and figured it out.

Go to Systems Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures > Check box next to Mission Control > Choose Swipe up with four fingers

Make sure the Mission Control box is checked and on the part of the menu regarding Mission Control where you designate either 'Swipe up with four fingers' or 'Swipe up with three fingers' choose four fingers. As a side-effect of this, when you're in your browser or wherever and want to get to the top of the page, you can now do it with three fingers.

When Mission Control is not checked, the 3 & 4 finger gestures both do nothing.
