How to Switch Windows Without Clicking on Your Mac's Trackpad

 

Dragging windows with the trackpad on your Mac can be tiresome: you must press, keep, and drag. However, you can probably slide windows using a three-finger motion instead, thanks to a little-known usability function. Here's how to configure everything.

 

How the 3 Finger Drag Functions

 

Three-finger drag is simple to use once it is allowed. Simply shift the mouse to the toolbar and press the trackpad softly with three fingers to "grab" the window. Then, using all three fingers, drag the window to the desired place. Once the window has been moved to the correct place, simply raise 1 finger from the trackpad to release it. Utilize this process as much as desired.

 

Generally, you should enable the "tap-to-click" option on your Mac to avoid using the trackpad forcefully. However, this method does not function while moving and repositioning windows.
