View and customise mouse or trackpad gestures on Mac

When you use a Magic Mouse or Apple trackpad with your Mac, you can use gestures — such as click, tap and pinch — to zoom in on PDFs, rotate photos, quickly show the desktop and more. You can view and customise available gestures in Mouse or Trackpad settings.

Note: To view Mouse or Trackpad settings, you must have a wireless mouse or trackpad connected with your Mac, or be using a Mac with a built-in trackpad.

View and customise gestures

You can browse available gestures, view an animation demonstrating each gesture, and customise or turn off gestures.

Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Mouse or Trackpad in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
