I wan't to enable right click on a magic trackpad (macbook pro 14") with 3 finger click, but this isn't an option.

Hello, It's possible to add "Right Click" to the actions menu, but I'm not sure it's necessary. On my MBP 16", with the "Three-Finger Click" gesture disabled, clicking with three fingers already performs a right-click.

What settings do you use in system preferences? With my macbook nothing happens when using 3 finger click

I have secondary click with two fingers enabled, and it enables both two and three finger right click.

I'm sorry, but when I enable 2 finger click my macbook only does right click with 2 fingers, not 3.

Weird, I reloaded Jitouch and lost the 3-finger right click for a while, and 3-finger right clicks only work sporadically now. Not sure why the left and right click actions are confined to the Magic Mouse but I could see about enabling them. Is there a reason why two-finger right clicks aren't good enough?

I use 3 finger click more then 5 years on my magic mouse and on my old macbook. So it is just an habit. At first i was using bettertouchtool but when I reinstalled them (clean install) I lost my license and now I found jtouch...

Sorry to bother you again. Is it possible to make a brew cask of your version of jitouch? The original has one, but it isn't maintained anymore.

I use a brewfile to install all my software so I can add it to that file. https://formulae.brew.sh/cask/jitouch#default https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/blob/HEAD/Casks/jitouch.rb

And this is an example of a cask installed with a .pkg https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/commit/da1a813e96f90fdf17180784c87130b2aad969f3

I just made a brew cask at https://github.com/aaronkollasch/homebrew-tap/blob/main/Casks/jitouch.rb You should be able to install with this line in your brewfile: cask "aaronkollasch/tap/jitouch"

One issue is that you can't specify whether to install for all users or just the current user. It seems to install for all users by default. Also, the prefpane needs to be opened on first install to actually start the Jitouch agent.

Is the trackpad right click branch included?

aaronkollasch commented 2 years ago

Just merged the right click branch, so it will be included in the next release.
