Single Touch gestures


Mac OS gestures utilise 2 or more touches. However, in some circumstances, user may wish to map single touches to simulate flicks and swipes, especially when using single touch touch screens.

With the latest gesture software each gesture can now be configured on a gesture-by-gesture basis. A typical gesture configuration for single touch touch screens would be as follows:

Set Tap -> Click*

Set Press -> Click and drag*

Set Drag -> Scroll

* note for these gestures that action is the default.

Check the "Disable multitouch gestures" option in the "Other Settings" section.

Finally, when configuring Gestures to be used with single touch we recommend the gesture setting "milliseconds for Press to occur" should be between 500-1000 milliseconds as you may experience an immediate click event on finger press when trying to perform a drag gesture.
