Force Click a link, for example, and you get a pop-up preview of the web page. This works on what Apple calls “data detectors.” These can be addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, web links - anything that you can take a subsequent action on in MacOS.
You’ll be presented with a pop-up window containing dictionary definitions, thesaurus entries, plus info from Siri, maps data, movie times and much more, all related to the word you looked up. Seen a word you want to look up? Just do a single-finger Force Click on it (or a three-finger tap in some versions of MacOS) to look it up. Click Trackpad Options, then tick the box next to Enable dragging and select three finger drag from the drop-down menu. To enable it, open System Preferences and click Accessibility, then click Pointer Control in the left-hand column. Fortunately, Apple lets you use a three-finger drag instead, which you may find more comfortable. Sometimes dragging and dropping files can be a little tricky when you’re just using a trackpad, especially if you have to drag a file a long distance. The icon will flash a couple times, then your email will appear and you can simply drop the file onto it to attach it. Show the desktop using this gesture, then drag the file down to the Mail icon in the Dock. This is particularly handy if, for example, you’re composing an email and want to attach a file to it. It’s useful if there’s a file on your desktop that you want to access. The opposite of the Launchpad gesture, spreading three fingers and your thumb apart will clear away your open apps and show your desktop.
To close Launchpad, just reverse the gesture. You’ll see an overlay appear displaying a grid of app icons. To launch it, place three fingers and your thumb on the trackpad, then pinch them together. Want to quickly open an app? The quickest and easiest way to browse your apps is to use Launchpad, which gives you a quick overview of all your installed apps, letting you open one with just a tap.
It’s absolutely worth learning a few of the most useful gestures, as they can have a meaningful impact on how quickly you can get around your Mac and get things done. You may know one or two gestures already, but there’s a plethora of little-known swipes and taps that can unlock extra functionality on your Mac. To the best of my knowledge, that's normal behavior. If I now swipe up with 3 fingers, I see the app switcher displaying the apps I have open and if I swipe up again with 3 fingers, I'm back at the home screen. With that being said, if I choose one of the open apps and then swipe up with 3 fingers, I go directly to the home screen and the open app is longer in view.
Has anyone else seen this issue?I'm literally on my original series 9.7-inch iPad Pro with an Apple TrackPad 2 connected via Bluetooth. I have tried restarting iPad via the Volume Up, Down, then hold the Power Button until it resets. I have a 3rd generation iPad Pro 12.9 running iOS 13.4.1, though I noticed the issue using my Magic TrackPad 2 on iOS 13.4 as well.
See the Additional Gestures section From this page. I am not seeing issues with the 2 finger swipes for scrolling. Specifically, it is the "Additional Gestures" like 3 finger swipe to go home and 3 finger swipe to switch apps. I am having a few issues with the system wide gestures using either my new Magic Keyboard or my Magic TrackPad 2.
