Use trackpad and mouse gestures on Mac

When you use an Apple trackpad or a Magic Mouse with your Mac, you can use gestures — such as click, tap, pinch and swipe — to zoom in on documents, browse through music or web pages, rotate photos, open Notification Centre and more.

Trackpad gestures

Use one or more fingers on the surface of your trackpad to click, tap, slide, swipe and more. For example, to move between pages of a document, swipe left or right with two fingers. To see all of the trackpad gestures you can use with your Mac, or to turn off or customise gestures, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Trackpad.
