Is there a way to disable three-finger scroll (while maintaining two-finger scroll) on a MacBook's trackpad? I seem to be able to scroll with both two and three fingers, but only want it for two.
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016)
If you enable dragging with 3 fingers it will disable scrolling with 3 fingers.
Dragging with 3 fingers is found in: Accessibility (I know it's not where you would think)
Result: With 3 fingers on highlighted file or text within a document the selection will be dragged rather than scroll of window.
If no text or file are highlighted 3 fingers will highlight text or a file group pick up and place 3 fingers to drag highlighted content.
You can follow an apple article : Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac - Apple Support
Go to system preferences > trackpad select point & click : enable the box secondary click there is an drop down arrow for choose click or tap with two fingers . you can choose options as stated in the post .
Click on more gestures : enable the box swipe between pages choose scroll left or right with two fingers , click on drop down arrows to choose two finger setting .
you must be missing these settings :
Thanks! This partially resolves it... I still prefer if when I swipe with three fingers, nothing happens on the screen, not even the highlighting of text...
All those settings are already enabled, but yet, the three-finger scroll/swipe is still enabled along with two-finger... Wonder why I can't disable the three-finger... Thanks anyway
