Mac Lion operating system incorporates what they call multi-touch gestures, not to be confused with Blender gestures. From the Apple website, these gestures are listed.
Two-finger scroll
Tap to zoom
Pinch to zoom
Swipe to navigate
Rotate
Three-finger drag
Tap to click
Secondary click
Do they work with Blender? I have seen someone use the Pinch to Zoom on the Blender 3D View window, but I didn’t know if all the commands work with Blender or what.
Anyone have experience?
I’ve tried using the trackpad with Blender. Forget about it.
You can pinch to zoom, or maybe it was two finger swipe that zoomed, I forget. then you use two fingers twisting on the screen to rotate the camera. It’s novel for about 12 cents, then you realize it doesn’t do anything very useful. Three button mouse is necessary. Mouse with Scrollwheel / button combo.
I noticed a build in Graphicall that looked like it incorporated Lion’s Fullscreen mode, which would be a nice little touch.
Thanks. I had seen Mac users using the pinch to zoom, and from the Apple website, the rotate command looked pretty useless in regards to Blender. But it’s good to have feedback from others who have actually used it.
