Many of the gestures with the Magic Trackpad are customizable. Swiping between pages can be configured for two fingers, three fingers, or both.
Swiping between full-screen apps can be with three fingers or two fingers.
There are more options; just check the Trackpad preferences. Many of them have discreet disclosure triangles to the right of the option.
this gesture is restored to normal if you use four finger gestures for moving between spaces.
also applies to other applications like sparrow that use 3 finger gestures for things
Excellent! Works on my MacBook Pro trackpad.
You can get the same kind of functionality through a Magic Mouse (particularly with MagicPrefs installed.) I'm still very much not convinced by all these gestures on a 'computer' with a full-size keyboard (but that's in part because I'm a pretty competent touch typist.)
Thanks, I've been missing this.
Also it works for back/forawrd navigation in Google Chrome
Also works with the Magic Mouse.
Not sure that I am completely comfortable with the changes to the Swipes/gestures in Lion. I quite liked the ones in Snow Leopard.
However the utility BetterTouchTool available from http://blog.boastr.net/ enables you to create many more gestures, making them specific to an application if you wish.
I highly recommend it.
BetterTouchTool can bring back that gesture and customize any other gestures :)
Just make sure to disable those gestures in your system preferences
For my setting swipe between pages to three fingers make back/forward work in Finder. And in System Preferences as well..
Is there any way to emulate the multitouch behavior making use of the old MB touchpad + the keyboard?? I can vertically scroll with 2 fingers, zoom in Mission control, I don't understand why we shouldn't be able to swipe pressing an additional couple of keys. Any third part application that allows it?
Cool! Exploration pro mac os. Works in Firefox too. Never even thought of trying this. A very handy hint.
Thanks for the tip. Very useful.
Although, I still don't understand why wouldn't Apple make it work without the option key. Yes, there is horizontal scrolling in some types of views or when the Finder window is smaller horizontally than the content. But they could've make it just the way it is in Safari: the swiping through history won't work until you hit the either end of the horizontal scroll. And if you need to go through the history without having to scroll all the way left/right through the content, then you hold the option key.

On your OS X Mac, here's how to make a single click perform double duty

Anyone using Windows XP can turn on a special mode that eliminates the need to double click to launch a program or open a folder, as you'll see in my weekly Technofile column at www.technofileonline.com/texts/tec040906.html. Can this be done just as easily in Mac OS X?
Yes and no. Here's the bad news first.
Mac OS X does not come with any built-in way to turn single clicks into double clicks the way Windows. (That would be a worthy addition to OS X, but I know of no plans for Apple to add it.)
But there are ways to get what you want. Here's the good news, in three parts.
1. Like Windows users, you can launch a program or open a folder -- as long as the item is already selected -- from the keyboard. Windows users do it by pressing the Enter key. Macintosh OS X users can do it by pressing Cmd-O. ('Cmd' is the abbreviation for 'Command.' The Cmd key is on each side of the spacebar on a standard Apple keyboard. It's sometimes called the Apple key.) Simply select an item, then, when it's selected, press Cmd-O.
2. You don't ever have to double click to launch an application or open a folder if its icon is in the Dock. The Dock always works by single clicks. To add an application or folder to the Dock, drag the original icon (in your Applications folder, for example) to the Dock and leave it there. (To remove it, drag it off the Dock.)
(For tips on using the Dock, read these previous articles: http://technofileonline.com/texts/mac011503.html and http://technofileonline.com/texts/mac122904.html.)
3. Even better news: You can graduate to a better mouse -- Microsoft's wireless IntelliMouse models are the ones I recommend -- and use its special mouse software. Microsoft's software makes this easy. My main OS X Mac uses a Wireless IntelliMouse Explorer 2.0, which comes with outstanding software for setting up the standard buttons and the extra buttons on the mouse. (It has two extra buttons where your thumb rests.)
The IntelliMouse software lets me assign a left double click to a single press of the wheel. Because the wheel rolls smoothly with a light touch, there's no danger of clicking the wheel when I'm using it to scroll. You have many other choices, too. If you don't have much use for the right button, you can assign a right click to a left double click, something I did for years before right-click context menus became as helpful as they are today.
(Right-clicking to do a standard double click is habit-forming. If you choose it for your OS X Mac, get context menus to open using Ctrl-Click.)
