How to make Magic mouse really have magic

Magic Mouse is the exclusive Apple Computer accessories, it is like the title of the picture, at first glance feel that in addition to the shape of a mouse, and other places seem to be incompatible with the ordinary mouse, at least even a basic scroll wheel are not, but since dare call Magic Mouse, Must have its magical.

It is designed for the Apple Computer, if you take it on Windows to play games, or in the Windows system installed on the Mac to play games, and then spit groove It does not work, then I can only send a sentence hehe, this kind of thing seems only local tyrants will be able to come out

Mac's Touchpad is famous for its powerful, multi-touch multi-gesture operation that dwarfs the Windows PC's touchpad, and the depth of the Apple system is enough to make it work in all areas, but if you want to move and position precisely, or just want a click of feedback, This time mm is very important, perhaps some people will say, the ordinary mouse can do this ah, but if I say mm can complete the touch pad gesture operation, you would still think so?

The mouse is just an interactive device, we first look at the normal mouse, it has about keys and the middle of the wheel, and computer interaction can only be achieved by clicking and scrolling, in addition to clicking, double-click, scrolling and the corresponding combination of operations, you can think of other ways of interaction, unless you add more buttons, In order to combine more interactive ways, a lot of game mouse is so dry

Look at mm, although it can also achieve click operation, but it does not have a scroll wheel, only a large panel, it looks as if the combination of less, but it is because of this large panel, it is like a touchpad, can perceive different gestures and movements, so theoretically any touch board can complete the interaction, MM can be completed , but there are individual operations without using the touchpad so naturally, to achieve such an effect, it must be used to Btt--bettertouchtool, if you have not heard the software, then I do not blame you will say mm not useful

Specifically, BTT is free software. I'll give you a few simple examples here, and more settings for BTT need to be combined with personal habits. First look at the setup interface of BTT

The setup steps are as follows

1. Select the Action object, you can operate on magic Mouse, touchpad, etc.  2. Select the object that the action executes, either as a global action or as an action for an app  3. Add gesture  4. Select gestures  

I'll just give you a simple example here. Before using Chrome on Windows, one of my favorite plugins is the mouse gesture plug-in, one of the most common operations is to quickly scroll to the top and bottom of the page, by holding down the right mouse button, while scrolling the wheel to achieve, hold the right button to the top, scroll down is to the bottom, so the interaction is very natural, To the Mac platform, combined with BTT,MM can also do such a quick operation, even more powerful.

Refer to the above settings diagram, set as follows

1. Select the Action object for the Magic Mouse2. Select Action Execution object is global, if you just want to do this shortcut for an app, select the appropriate app, click the + sign below to add APP3. Click "Add New Gesture" 4. In the Magic Mouse gesture option, select both Finger Swipe UP5 under the Finger gesture. In the predefined action option, select end of keyboard keys (end of the Page)

After setting up, whether you are in Safari or under Chrome, on the MM on two fingers up to reach the bottom of the page, using very natural, similarly can set two fingers down to reach the top of the page, because this gesture is global, for all apps are valid, Chrome plug-ins are only available for Chrome, so app-level APIs are still not comparable to system-level APIs, like when you look up English words in a Mac with a word, no matter what the system comes with three-finger touch to get the word handy

And this is just one of the settings, under the Magic Mouse gesture option, you can see all the gesture actions, some of which are as the name implies, some will have a corresponding description, and well understood, each gesture can bind a keyboard shortcut (Keyboard Shortcut) or specify the operation, of course, not all gestures need to use, after all, so many who can not remember, according to their own needs, in the use if you find an operation is very frequent, you can bind to the corresponding gesture. Share my basic settings here

Global Settings
Here to explain the Tiptap right/left operation, which requires two fingers with the operation, I usually use the index finger and middle finger, tiptap right is the index finger on the mouse surface, with the middle finger tap (tap) the mouse surface, attention is only gently flapping, not to press the mouse button down, I am bound to improve the volume operation, this time with the beating of my middle finger, the volume will be a grid of large, the operation is very natural, Tiptap left is the opposite, the middle finger on the mouse surface, the index finger tap the mouse, this action need to practice several times will be skilled, when I started to learn this action, I played the music with my headphones over and over again to feel the natural, just-right feedback.

Safari settings
I only made a simple setup as follows, not the stickers, described below

Finger tap:cmd (?) +click

This is a keyboard shortcut operation, double finger Pat, simulated cmd+click operation, when browsing the Web page encountered links want to open in the background, you can use this operation

Macvim settings

Single Finger tap right: ^]single Finger tap left  : ^o

Familiar with the vim of all know, the two shortcuts are jumping to the definition of the symbol and fallback to the last point of the cursor, in the browsing code I often use these two actions, the corresponding gesture is the mouse to the left and right, after the practice found that the upper left corner and the right corner of the higher success rate, the operation is relatively easy to touch, But it is only set under Macvim, and does not involve the modification operation, so it doesn't have much effect.

BTT settings far more than these, you can slowly experience in the use of the process, there is a need to add a gesture operation, must not be added to a large pile, and finally even their own forgotten which corresponds to which, in addition, the use of caution to remove and close the tag such as the shortcut keys, or the wrong touch will be more troublesome. The first time I use this software did not realize its strong, tossing a moment to uninstall, until I really have the need to search the Internet, see everyone recommended BTT, finally found that it was once I abandoned the guy, fortunately I met it, with it, Magic Mouse really have magic.
